Titles
Like with Abraham's cosmography, the astronomical observations in Latin actually have a title that starts [long stream of Arabic/Persian] sive... and then the Latin bit of the title. Inaccurate to provide the transliteration as if that's what he wrote but apparently it's Jadāwil-i Mawādi'-i Thawābit Dar Tūl U'ard Kih Bi-rasad Yāftah Ast Ulugh Baik. Whatever it is should probably be added to Zij-i Sultani here and at Wikidata as an alt title.

Similarly, the De Ludibus Orientalis... isn't actually the title of anything until the reprint. The original books had separate titles: with a note saying that it's Part 2 (somehow) of the First Book on Eastern Games, focused on Hebrew pastimes and with a note that it also includes Explicatio Amplissimi Chinensium Ludi, qui Eorum Politiam & Modum Perveniendi ad Dignitates in Aulâ Regiâ Exponit, & Egregio ac Peramplo Schemate Repraesentat and another note that it's the 2nd Book on Eastern Games. — Llywelyn II   23:26, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
