Alfonsine Astronomy: The Written Record
, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 426 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:56 col., 15 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503595207.
Summary Compiled between 1262 and 1272 in Toledo under the patronage of Alfonso X, the Castilian Alfonsine Tables were recast in Paris in the 1320s, resulting in what we now call the Parisian Alfonsine Tables. These materials circulated widely and fostered astronomical activities throughout Europe. This resulted in a significant number of new works, of which there are a few hundred, extant in more than 600 manuscript codices and dozens of printed editions. These manuscripts and imprints, broadly contemporary to the works they witness, comprise the written record of Alfonsine astronomy and provide the focus of this volume. A first series of essays examines individual manuscripts containing Alfonsine works. The authors seek to reconstruct, from the manuscript evidence, the cultural, astronomical and mathematical worlds in which the manuscripts were initially copied, compiled, used and collected. A second series of essays turns from the particular codex to the individual work or author. These contributions ask how particular works have been transmitted in surviving manuscript witnesses and how broader manuscript cultures shaped the diffusion, over two centuries, of Alfonsine astronomy across Europe. A final essay reflects on the challenges and opportunities offered by digital humanities approaches in such collective studies of a large manuscript corpus. TABLE OF CONTENTS Richard L.

He graduated at Yale in 1840. In 1841 he was appointed professor of mathematics in the Navy, and a year later succeded to the chair of mathematics at the naval in Philadelphia. He was very active in the movement that led to the establishment of the U.S naval academy at Annapolis. At first he was professor of mathematics and astronomy there, and later of astronomy, navigation, and surveying, and always the most prominent of the academic staff. In 1855, he was offered the professorship of mathematics, and in 1859 that of astronomy and natural philosophy at Yale, but both honors were declined. During the same year, he was elected to the chair of mathematics in Washington University, st louis, and in 1862, he was chosen chancellor of the university. This book is a detailed treatise combining contemporary European advancements along with new American methods using electric telegraph and the zenith telescope. Chauvenet has included his own method for reducing lunar distances, first published in the American ephemeris in 1855 along with the tables for its application.

First Latin Treatise on Ptolemy?s Astronomy: The Almagesti minor (c. 1200), H. Zepeda
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2018 Hardback, X+662 p., 136 b/w ill., 12 b/w tables, 178 x 254 mm, Languages: English, Latin. ISBN 9782503581378.
This volume presents a critical edition, translation, and study of one of the most important works of medieval science, the Almagesti minor, the earliest Latin commentary on Ptolemy?s Almagest. This summary of the first half of the Almagest incorporated the astronomy of Islamic astronomers and altered Ptolemy?s work to make it accord with the author?s scientific ideals. The Almagesti minor had a profound effect upon astronomical writings throughout the 13th-15th centuries, including the work of Georg Peurbach, Johannes Regiomontanus, and many others. The Almagesti minor is one of the most important works of medieval astronomy. Probably written in northern France circa 1200, it is a Latin summary of the first six books of Ptolemy?s astronomical masterpiece, the Almagest. Also known to modern scholars as the ?Almagestum parvum?, the Almagesti minor provides a clear example of how a medieval scholar understood Ptolemy?s authoritative writing on cosmology, spherical astronomy, solar theory, lunar theory, and eclipses. The author incorporated the findings of astronomers of the Islamic world, such as al-Batt?n?, into the framework of Ptolemaic astronomy, and he altered the format and style of Ptolemy?s astronomy in order to make it accord with his own ideals of a mathematical science, which were primarily derived from Euclid?s Elements. The Almagesti minor had a profound effect upon astronomical writing throughout the 13th-15th centuries, including the work of Georg Peurbach and Johannes Regiomontanus. In this first volume of the Ptolemaeus Arabus et Latinus text series, Henry Zepeda offers not only a critical edition of this little-studied text, but also a translation into English, analysis of both the text and its geometrical figures, and a thorough study of the work?s origins, sources, and long-lasting influence. Henry Zepeda is a historian of science. He is a Teaching Fellow at Wyoming Catholic College, and he previously worked in the Ptolemaeus Arabus et Latinus project at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities. His research is focused upon medieval mathematics and astronomy of the 12th to 15th centuries.
