Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Reprint 1990. The need for the present tables became pressing several years ago when hundreds of astronomical cuneiform tablets in the British Museum became available for study, partly through the copies made in the 1998's by Father J. N. Strassmaier and T.G. Pinches. All the texts originally came from some achieve in Babylon which was discovered by Arabs in the middle of the nineteenth century. Most of the texts were written during the Macedonian and Parthian occupation of Mesopotamia from about 330 BC to the first century AD. The exacting work of slowly restoring a huge archive of well over a thousand texts to its full usefulness for the astronomer as well as for the historical of astronomy and historian of the Hellenistic age is being carried out in all its aspects - the present tables are a most valuable tool for this work and will remain so for all future evaluation of the new evidence now becoming available. Professional book seller with storefront since 1975. All orders carefully packaged and promptly shipped.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The need for these tables became pressing when hundreds of astronomical cuneiform tables in the British Museum became available for study, partly through the copies made in the 1880s and 1890s. All these texts originally came from some archive in Babylon which was discovered by Arabs in the middle of the 19th century. Most of the texts were written from about 330 B.C. to the first century A.D. Many of the texts are fragments of the original clay tables which have broken. In many cases, a fragment contains only parts of a few legible lines. Much of the information is of an astronomical character. It is evident that for investigations of these tablets the possibility of rapid scanning of accurately dated planetary positions is of primary importance.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - These tables for A.D. 2 to A.D. 1649 are an extension, with some improvements, of earlier ones for 601 B.C. to A.D. 1. As before, they give the geocentric positions (tropic celestial longitudes & latitudes, i.e. with respect to the mean equinox of date), in units of 0 degrees.01 for the Sun & planets, & 0 degrees.1 for the Moon, at 16h Universal Time - 4 P.M. Greenwich Civil Time - 7 P.M. local mean time of 45 degrees East longitude (Babylon), on the indicated dates, all in the Julian calendar, hence for Julian dates 5n + 1/6 for the Moon, Mercury, & Venus, & 1-n + 1/6 for the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, & Saturn. The same adaptation of the theories of Leverrier, Gaillot, & Hansen, with modified elements by Schoch, was used as before, except as noted below. The chief change has been to improve the positions of Jupiter & Saturn. Tables.
