Do Tier 1–2 sources confirm that Ibn al-Banna's Talkhīṣ contains lattice multiplication, and that the 12th-c. Lilavati-commentary 'Kapat-sandhi' is the same method?

The most detailed modern study of Ibn al-Banna's Talkhīṣ commentarial tradition never mentions lattice, gelosia, or shabakh multiplication

claim seedling Tier 1 2026-08-13 · history-of-mathematics, lattice-multiplication, islamic-golden-age, ibn-al-banna, verification
The earliest published manuscript evidence for gelosia-grid multiplication in the Ibn al-Banna tradition belongs to Ibn Ghāzī's 15th/16th-century commentary, not Ibn al-Banna's own 13th-century Talkhīṣ

claim seedling Tier 2 2026-08-13 · history-of-mathematics, lattice-multiplication, islamic-golden-age, ibn-al-banna, verification
Lattice ('gelosia') multiplication's paper trail runs India (12th-c. Lilavati commentary) → Islamic Maghreb (Ibn al-Banna, late 13th c.) → Renaissance Italy
