Description

Explore the deep roots of celestial study with the History of Oriental Astronomy. This academic volume contains the proceedings from the Joint Discussion-17 at the 23rd General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union. As part of the Astrophysics and Space Science Library, this work provides a scholarly look at the significant research conducted on astronomical history in the East. The text connects to a long tradition of research, referencing the monumental work of Joseph Needham on Chinese science and civilization, as well as S. Nakayama's studies on Japanese astronomy. It also addresses the historical importance of Islamic astronomy, specifically the critiques of Ptolemaic astronomy by scholars at the Maragha Observatory during the 13th and 14th centuries. This book is an essential resource for historians and researchers interested in how different cultures understood the stars and shaped the development of space science.
