This article provides an English translation of, and a commentary on, the important mathematical treatise Aškāl al-ta’sīs by Šams al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Ašraf al-Ḥusaynī al-Samarqandī, a contemporary of Naṣīr al-Dīn al-Ṭūsī and Quṭb al-Dīn al-Šīrāzī, but not himself active at the observatory of Maragha. The Aškāl is strongly dependent on the Elements of Euclid and was the subject of numerous commentaries and super-commentaries.
