This dissertation explores the astronomical work of the fourteenth century Bukharan astronomer 'Ubayd Allah b. Mas'ud Sadr al-Shariah al-Than\i\ (d. 1347 AD). Sadr al-Shariah was a religious scholar who produced several renowned works, of which ``{\it The Adjustment of the Configuration of the Celestial Spheres}'' is his only work on astronomy. The work is in the tradition of an ongoing original astronomical research aimed at reforming Ptolemaic astronomy. In particular, it has the form of a critical commentary on the classic works of Na\ s\i r al-D\i n al-\ Tus\i \ (d. 1274), Qu\ tb al-D\i n al-Sh\i raz\i \ (d. 1311), who, along with other astronomers of the Maraghah school, set the tone for the astronomical research in the following two centuries, and perhaps until the eventual demise of Ptolemaic astronomy. The work of Sadr al-Shariah is of interest for more than one reason: on one had, it sheds more light on the development and achievements of the above-mentioned tradition of astronomical research. On the other hand, it supplies further evidence for creativity and originality, well beyond the eleventh century, in a period often viewed in classical literature as a period of cultural decline and stagnation. Furthermore, Sadr al-Shariah's knowledge of and competence in a diverse variety of disciplines is an interesting example of the state of education and level of scholarship in a fourteenth century Muslim urban setting.
