To begin to address this question, this chapter revisits the earliest evidence concerning astrolabes, texts and instruments, bearing in mind their reliance on earlier traditions.2 First, it will examine treatises on the construction and use of the astrolabe, two from late Antiquity and the early Byzantine period by Ioannes Philoponus (c. 490–c. 570) and Severus Sebokht (c. 575–666/667), in Greek and Syriac respectively, and two of early ʿAbbāsid times by al-Khwārizmī","PeriodicalId":201349,"journal":{"name":"Heaven and Earth United","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127953832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
