摘要：
The paper presents a critical review of the iterative process used by Shams al-Din Muhammad al-Wabkanawi (Iran, Maragha, ca. 1270-1320) in order to compute the annular solar eclipse of 30 January 1283 from the solar and lunar parameter values obtained by Muhyi al-Din al-Maghribi (Maragha, 1260-1274). The position of this prediction in medieval astronomy will also be discussed. Wabkanawi uses an observation as evidence for the correctness of his prediction, and his results agree to a remarkable extent with modern astronomical computations of the same eclipse.
