Abstract
Then he [the barber] put his hand in his leather bag and took out an astrolabe with seven plates inlaid with silver and, going into the courtyard, held the instrument up to the sun’s rays and looked for some time. Then he said to me, ‘O my lord, eight degrees and six minutes have elapsed of this day, which is Friday, the eighteenth of Safar, in the six hundred and fifty-third year of Hijra and the seven thousand three hundred and twentieth year of the Alexander era, and the planet now in the ascendant, according to the mathematical calculations of the astrolabe, is Mars, which is in conjunction with Mercury, a conjunction that is favorable for cutting hair. I can also see that you are intending to meet another person and for that the time is inauspicious and ill-advised.
