Studies on the Transmission of Medieval Mathematical Astronomy

Details

This collection reprints ten essays by Raymond Mercier, plus one other essay published here for the first time, which examine the transmission of Hellenistic science in `Greek, Arabic, Sanskrit, Hebrew, Latin' technical astronomy treatises. The majority of these essays present technical analyses of the mathematical principles behind the studies, supported by diagrams and tables. The papers retain their original pagination and appearance.
