Parilekhana
The two great strengths of the book are this analysis of the reception of PH, and the complete Arabic/English translation of the PH.Both tremendous accomplishments.As one of the most important books in the history of astronomy published so far in the twenty-first century, this will be of supreme importance for both Classical studies in astronomy, and scholars engaged in how Arabic astronomers engaged with Ptolemy.There are typographical errors: e…
A Unique Application of the Observation of Stars in Indian Astronomical Texts
It is very well known that the observation of stars constituted an integral part of Indian astronomical texts. The twenty seven stars along the zodiac were used as references for longitudes. Here we discuss an application which is generally not highlighted. The method uses the meridian transit observation of stars to determine the ascendant (lagna), as cited in the seventeenth-century manuscript Brahmatulya Udāharaṇam by Viśvanātha. We assess the…
Understanding Śṛngonnati
The determination of the phase of the Moon is a very important task. Almost every textbook on Indian astronomy has a chapter called śṛngonnati , which means the elevation of its cusps. Here we explain the calculation of the elevation of the cusps of the Moon with examples provided in the Brahmatulya Udāharaṇam , complete with parilekhana (drawings). We compare the elevation as determined from software Occult4.5.10.0 for the relevant dates. We als…
