It tries to shed some light on the provenance and the sources of these texts, their place in the Problemata physica tradition, their relation to each other and to the Kitāb Sirr al-ḫalīqa, and the interests behind the compilation of the particular set of questions we encounter in them. Both texts are appended in the original Arabic and Syriac with facing English translations.
