Picatrix
thumb|Title of a 1612 Ghayat al-Hakim manuscript (Istanbul, Hagia Sophia 2443). Picatrix () is a 400-page Arabic book of magic and astrology, which most scholars assume was originally written in the middle of the 11th century, though an argument for composition in the first half of the 10th century has been made. The work was translated into Spanish and then into Latin during the 13th century, at which time it got the Latin title Picatrix. The title Picatrix is also sometimes used to refer to the book's author.

Al-Mabsut
Al-Mabsut () is an 11th-century classical Hanafi legal text written by al-Sarakhsi. It covers the fundamental principles of the Hanafi school and serves as a commentary on Al-Kafi by Hakim al-Shahid, which was itself based mainly on the six canonical works of Muhammad al-Shaybani, a student of Abu Hanifa. Al-Sarakhsi composed the work largely during his imprisonment.
