Minbar, Shawl or Teeth? Triangular Tables in Arabic Manuscripts

DOI

Tables (ǧadāwil, sg ǧadwal) are fairly common in Arabic technical and scientific manuscripts. Triangular tables are a particular case that results from the reduction of orthogonal arrays under particular circumstances. This contribution focuses on two case studies—a table of comparative chronology and one for the combination of logical propositions—and illustrates some peculiar features of triangular tables and their use, offering also their edition and translation.
