Al Sufi, Persian astronomer

Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (December 7, 903, May 25, 986) was a Persian astronomer. The lunar crater Azophi and the minor planet 12621 Alsufi are named after him. Al-Sufi published his famous Book of Fixed Stars in 964, describing much of his work, both in textual descriptions and pictures. The work was highly influential and survives in numerous manuscripts and translations. Al-Biruni reports that his work on the ecliptic was carried out in Shiraz. He lived at the Buyid court in Isfahan. Woodcut by Albrecht Durer from his 1515 celestial star map.
