Al-Bīrūnī (d. c.1050) wrote his astrological handbook "al-tafhīm li-awā’īl ṣinā‘at al-tanǧīm" for a woman called Rayḥāna Bint al-Ḥasan
Little is known about her, but she was probably a member of the Khwārizmian court who studied with him at Ghazna.

FYI the shelf mark IO Islamic signifies India Office written in Arabic script as opposed to Indian/Devanagari script. This was to distinguish two sequences both called IO. The shelf mark relates to the sequence ms is part of NOT content which is Iranian not Islamic
