Industry Reviews
In five original and 15 reprinted papers, the author deals with such topics as the survival of a late Latin astronomical tradition in al- Andulus; the Eastern influence in Andalusian astronomy; the development of mathematical astronomy (centered on two topics -- trepidation theory and Ibn al-Zarqalluh's solar model with variable eccentricity); the problem of the existence of a cosmological tradition which seems to be entirely different than the Eastern one; and the astronomy of Alfonso X. The first paper is a general survey summarizing the author's ideas on the most distinctive characteristics of the development of astronomy in al-Andalus. Distributed by Ashgate.
