Video orientation to LJS 414 - Astrological compendium, 1670. Summary: Written in Persian, this manuscript is a collection of astronomical works, including 2 on the astrolabe (f. 1v-20v, 163r-168v), a treatise on a horoscope referring to Khawaja Haji Ghulām Ḥusayn and the date A.H. 1047 (1636, a date of birth?), and an illustrated work on Dhu al-Qarnayn, a Koranic figure later associated with legends of Alexander the Great.
