<description descriptionType="Abstract"><p>A previously unstudied Arabic nautical autograph manuscript has been recently&nbsp;brought to light in Lisbon. An early nineteenth-century bundle including at least&nbsp;three distinct works in almost one hundred leaves, it contains stellar route bearings&nbsp;and coastal descriptions, extensive astronomical,&nbsp;geographical, and traverse tables, in addition to a number of Islamic ethical sections and Sufi prayers. While the textual tradition remains inconclusive, authorship rests partly with an ʿAbd Allāh b. Aḥmad&nbsp;b. ʿAbd al-Razzāq, from Ṣūr. The main physical and textual features are given here&nbsp;to lay the ground for further study.</p></description>
