Mathematical Analysis and Historical Investigation. This volume comprises nine articles on Islamic astronomy published since 1989 by Benno van Dalen. The five articles in the first part of this collection explain the principles of a range of statistical methods for determining unknown parameter values underlying astronomical tables and present extensive step-by-step examples for their use. The four articles in the second part provide extensive studies of materials in unpublished primary sources on Islamic astronomy that heavily depend on these methods. The volume is completed with a detailed index.

This volume comprises nine articles on Islamic astronomy published since 1989 by Benno van Dalen. Van Dalen was the first historian of Islamic astronomy who made full use of the new possibilities of computers in the early 1990s. He implemented various statistical and numerical methods that can be used to determine the mathematical properties of medieval astronomical tables, and utilized these to obtain entirely new, until then unattainable historical results concerning the interdependence of individual tables and hence of entire astronomical works. His programmes for analysing tables, making sexagesimal calculations and converting calendar dates continue to be widely used. The five articles in the first part of this collection explain the principles of a range of statistical methods for determining unknown parameter values underlying astronomical tables and present extensive step-by-step examples for their use. The four articles in the second part provide extensive studies of materials in unpublished primary sources on Islamic astronomy that heavily depend on these methods.

Recenzijas

'... what readers have before them in this book is twenty years of insightful, pioneering work into the analysis of Islamic astronomical tables. The impact of van Dalens work cannot be overstated.' - Journal of the History of Astronomy

'This is an important collection of papers, published over the span of a quarter century, devoted entirely to one topic, the astronomical handbooks with tables and explanations for their use...' - Zentralblatt MATH

"For the last 25 years, Benno van Dalen has devoted his efforts indefatigably to the study and analysis of medieval astronimical tables, particularly Islamic tables, and his research has contributed substantially to the progress in this field...it is most welcome that nine of his most remarkable papers, dating from 1989 to 2008, are now published together in a single volume." - José Chabįs, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Aestimatio

Contents: Preface; Part 1 Methods for Analysing Astronomical Tables: A
statistical method for recovering unknown parameters from medieval
astronomical tables; On Ptolemys table for the equation of time; A table for
the true solar longitude in the Jami Zij; Al-Khwarizmis astronomical tables
revisited: analysis of the equation of time; Origin of the mean motion tables
of Jai Singh. Part 2 Studies of Zijes: The Zij-i Nasiri by Mahmud ibn Umar.
The earliest Indian-Islamic astronomical handbook with tables and its
relation the Ala i Zij; A second manuscript of the Mumtahan Zij; Re-editing
the tables in the Sabi Zij by al-Battani (ca. AD 900) (with Fritz S.
Pedersen); Dates and eras in the Islamic world: era chronology in
astronomical handbooks; Indexes.
Benno van Dalen was for long a researcher at the former Institute for the History of Science in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and is now one of the two research leaders of the 25-year project 'Ptolemaeus Arabus et Latinus' at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Munich, Germany.
