Description

Studies on the Transmission of Medieval Mathematical Astronomy explores how astronomical knowledge travelled across cultures from the Hellenistic period through the medieval era. This scholarly work begins with a comprehensive survey of Hellenistic astronomy transmission, then examines how the concept of precession evolved through Babylonian, Greek, Indian, Arabic and Latin scholarly traditions. The book analyses astronomical tables that emerged in Latin during the 12th century, sourced primarily from Arabic materials and partly from Hebrew texts, including specialised coverage of Latin tables for London and Pisa that derive from al-Sufi's 10th-century Islamic astronomical work. The author investigates Sanskrit texts to demonstrate mathematical and observational continuities across civilisations, providing essential insight into how medieval European astronomers inherited and adapted mathematical frameworks from older traditions. This comprehensive study illuminates the complex pathways through which astronomical knowledge was preserved, translated and transformed across three continents and multiple centuries, making it invaluable for historians of science, medieval studies scholars and anyone interested in the global development of mathematical astronomy.

Key Features

Studies on the Transmission of Medieval Mathematical Astronomy presents a new survey of how Hellenistic astronomy travelled and evolved through multiple ancient and medieval cultures.

The book examines precession concepts across Babylonian, Greek, Indian, Arabic and Latin astronomical traditions, showing how different cultures understood and developed this fundamental principle.

Detailed analysis of 12th-century Latin astronomical tables reveals their derivation from Arabic sources and some Hebrew materials, documenting the knowledge transfer between civilisations.

Specialised study of Latin astronomical tables created for London and Pisa demonstrates how Islamic astronomer al-Sufi's 10th-century work influenced European mathematical astronomy.

Investigation of Sanskrit texts establishes mathematical and observational connections that bridge Indian and Western astronomical traditions across centuries.
