Overview
"Al-Iklil fi Ansab Himyar wa Ayyam Mulukiha" (The Crown on the Genealogies of Himyar and the Days of its Kings) by Abu Muhammad al-Hasan ibn Ahmad ibn Ya'qub al-Hamdani al-Yamani. Hajji Khalifa describes it as a large and very useful book, complete in ten volumes, covering ten fields of knowledge. Within it are passages on the calculation of conjunctions and their times, extracts from natural science and the principles of astrological judgements, and the views of the ancients on antiquity, the ages, the propagation of human beings and the measures of their lifespans. 2
