Summary/Abstract: The Gazi Husrev-Beg's library in Sarajevo contains quite a few mathematical manuscripts written in Oriental languages. One of the most precious is the transcript of the mathematical work Muhtesar fi(ilm) al-hisab, written by Abdul Mehasin Hasan b. Abil Tahib al-Baihayi al-Horosam. The transcript had been done by Imad Ibn Mohhamed on May 18th, 1340. This is the one of its kind and Western sources do not know about it.
