About this person
Muḥammad al Achsasi al Mouakket was a 17th-century Egyptian astronomer whose calendarium and catalogue of stars, al-Durrah al-muḍīyah fī al-ʻamāl al-shamsīyah, was written in Cairo in about 1650. Al-Achsasi was a shaykh, a learned elder, of the Grand Mosque of the university of Cairo, where his name al-Muwaqqit reflected his position in regulating the times and hours at the mosque. Akhsasi connects him in origin to a village in the Faiyum, southwest of Cairo.
