Description

Discover the work of the most important astronomer of the ancient Greek world. This volume from Cambridge University Press offers a comprehensive introduction to the life and scientific contributions of Hipparchus. As a pioneer in the field, Hipparchus was the first to apply an effective geometric model to the cosmos, allowing for more reliable predictions of the positions of the Sun, Moon, and stars. This book provides an annotated translation and an introduction to the commentary on the Phenomena of Aratus and Eudoxus. Readers will learn about his groundbreaking work in cataloging the stars of the northern hemisphere, including detailed accounts of their risings, settings, and culminations. This text is an essential resource for those studying the history of theoretical and mathematical astronomy and the origins of celestial mechanics.
