Notes: Titles of books are printed bold; titles of reviews other than essay reviews are in small font. Titles of works which may be of particular interest or importance (and which have not since appeared in reprints or improved versions) are boxed. Refer­ences of the form X-n show that an article has been reprinted as no. n in vol. X of the three Variorum volumes:

A       Islamic Mathe­mati­cal Astronomy           (1986/1993, see nos. 79/132)
B       Islamic Astronomical Instruments             (1987/1995, see nos. 87/163)
C       Astronomy in the Service of Islam             (1993, see no. 131)

Some other works are available in new versions in:

SATMI     Studies in Astronomical Timekeeping in Medieval Islam  (2004/5, see nos. 230-231)

The signs + and ++ indicate that the work in question was translated by Kurt Maier or Wolf-Dieter Wagner, respectively. An asterisk is used for further works not in English that were translated by others. X indicates a work in press, Y a work still in preparation.
