For whatever it is worth, it seems that "al-adab" in Arabic originally meant "ethics", "etiquette" but has become to mean means "literature", "writings" and things like that.
The "Al-adab Al-Mufrad" is a book of ethics that is important within Islam. That "aladaba" could maybe maybe possibly perhaps be a shortened form of the Latinized version of the name of that book, or some other Arabic book. Like "almagest" and "algebra"...
All the best, --stolfi

I don't have access to the notes with the source MS, it was an online digitised source somewhat contemporary to the VMS. It's an example of Arabic transliterated to German and from memory it refers to one of the stars or star clusters, likely Aldebaran, i.e the eye of Taurus. It is one of the 15 Bahenian/Persian stars leveraged in hermetic charm magic. This is a good run down of the topic: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
And this compiles some source texts into a single cogent whole:
