réf. 65014Brepols 2024. Hardback 479 pages Size:178 x 254 mm Illustrations:10 b/w 4 tables b/w. Languages:English Arabic. NEW ISBN 9782503607177. Summary Ptolemy's Almagest 2nd century AD is the most influential work of ancient and medieval astronomy. This work however does not tell us the full story about its author's views of the heavens. After completing the Almagest Ptolemy turned his attention to a physical investigation of celestial motions. The result is the Planetary Hypotheses a bold attempt to provide a celestial physics that coheres with the mathematical account of astronomical observations in his Almagest. This book provides the first complete critical edition and English translation of the Arabic version of the Planetary Hypotheses which is lost for the most part in its original Greek. It furthermore provides an extensive commentary on the whole work which situates the Planetary Hypotheses within the context of its time and investigates philosophical ideas central to the work. These include the epistemic value of mathematics relative to natural philosophy and the shape number and dynamics of the celestial bodies. The book also investigates the influence of the Planetary Hypotheses on a wide range of medieval Arabic astronomical and philosophical works from the 9th to the 13th century AD. The upshot is to establish the Planetary Hypotheses as a crucial text for understanding the history of philosophy and science from Greek antiquity to the Arabic Middle Ages TABLE OF CONTENTS I Introduction II Astronomy Natural Philosophy and the Physical Reality of the Celestial Bodies III The Dynamics of Celestial Motions IV Conclusion V The Arabic Version of the Planetary Hypotheses: Edition and Translation VI Commentary Glossary Bibliography Index Brepols 2024 hardcover
réf. 65272Brepols 2024. Hardback xii 245 pages Size:178 x 254 mm Illustrations:6 b/w 28 col. 10 tables b/w. Languages:English Arabic. ISBN 9782503602226. Summary This book deals with the Risla Dht al-kurs a 33-chapter Arabic treatise on the celestial globe with stand. The treatise is attributed to Ptolemy in some manuscripts to the Ottoman scholar Akhawayn in others but is anonymous in most. The book begins with a survey of references to Ptolemaic works in Greek and Arabic sources presenting various works attributed to Ptolemy either preserved in the original Greek or in translation or considered lost including both authentic works and pseudepigrapha. Next follows a critical edition of the treatise Dht al-kurs based on eight of the twenty-three manuscripts studied. The edition is accompanied by an English translation and an extensive mathematical commentary on each chapter enriched with explanatory figures. The comparison between this treatise and the Treatise on the Celestial Globe by Qus ibn Lq d. ca 912 AD presented in parallel with the commentary shows that the former is based on the latter; thus the treatise Dht al-kurs should be considered a Ptolemaic pseudepigraphon. A transcription of the Arabic text of the treatise by Qus ibn Lq based n three of the eighteen examined manuscripts is included so that the reader may compare the two texts. Furthermore in order to examine Akhawayn's association with the treatise a bibliographical and historical investigation is conducted which examines the full range of works attributed to Akhawayn. However the truth about the authorship was probably lost as the result of various rivalries in the late fifteenth century. TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface 1.

Third edition of Ruscelli's translation from Venice 1561.
