Rodríguez Arribas, Josefina, "From Castile to Istanbul: Moses ben Abraham de Çivdat and his Explanation of the astrolabe with clear explanations (edition, translation, and commentary", SCIAMVS: Sources and Commentaries in Exact Sciences, 22 (2022), 1-194.

Resum: This article presents a diplomatic edition and translation of the only extant manuscript of the Explanation of the astrolabe with clear explanations, a treatise on the uses of astrolabes that the Sephardi Moses ben Abraham de Çivdat composed in the first quarter of the 16th century in Istanbul. I discuss the scanty biographical data that can be gathered from Moses ben Abraham's work as author, translator, and copyist, the sources of his astrolabe text and its technical contents, and Moses ben Abraham's contribution to the knowledge of the astrolabe in Hebrew and non-Hebrew literature. The article underscores Moses' role in creating a continuity between the applied astronomical knowledge of Jews in medieval Iberia and the astronomical teachings and practices of Sephardic Jews in Ottoman lands.
