Description

Explore the complex history of mathematical astronomy with this scholarly collection from Routledge. This volume provides a comprehensive survey of how Hellenistic astronomy was transmitted across different cultures and eras. Readers can examine how the concept of precession was handled by Babylonian, Greek, Indian, Arabic, and Latin scholars. The text offers a detailed look at the astronomical tables that appeared in Latin during the 12th century, noting their origins in Arabic and Hebrew sources. It includes a specialized study on the Latin tables for London and Pisa, which were originally derived from the 10th-century Islamic astronomer al-Sufi. This work is a vital resource for those studying the movement of scientific knowledge through the medieval world, covering a wide range of linguistic and regional traditions including Sanskrit texts.
