The present paper contains the Japanese translation of Ibn al-Haytham's "Maqala fi al-athar alldhi fi wajh al-qamar," based on the Arabic text edited by A. Sabra in "Maqalat al-Hasan b. al-Hasan b. al-Haytham fi al-athar al-zahir fi wajh al-qamar", Journal for the History of Arabic Science, vol.1 (1977) pp.166-181. Ibn al-Haytham, who flourished in Cairo in the 10th-11th centuries, is one of the representative figures of Arabic science. He is best-known as a physicist who made a great contribution in optics. The treatise on the marks on the surface of the moon in one of his works in this field, written after the great Optics (Kitab al-manazir). As in former treatises "The Light of the Stars" (Maqala fi adwa' al-kawakib) and "The Light of the Moon" (Maqala fi. daw' al-qamar) which are cited in this treatise, he tries here to apply the new methods and theories which he founded in Optics to the heavenly phenomena.
