Summary
Orbit of the Moon from a manuscript of Zakariya al-Qazwini’s "Aja'ib al-Makhluqat wa Ghara'ib al-Mawjudat" (Wonders of Creation).
This illustration represents the motion and structure of the lunar sphere within medieval Islamic cosmology, where celestial bodies were understood as part of an ordered and intelligible universe.
The diagram reflects the attempt to model reality through structured reasoning, mapping the heavens as a coherent system.
