{"title":"Astronomy and Mathematics in Ancient India / Astronomie et mathématiques de l’Inde Ancienne. Actes de la journée d’études organisée le 24 avril 2009 à l’Université Libre de Bruxelles","authors":"J. Delire, T. Knudsen","doi":"10.33137/AESTIMATIO.V11I0.26267","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33137/AESTIMATIO.V11I0.26267","url":null,"abstract":"Already in 1786, Sir William Jones, founder of the Asiatick Society in Calcutta, wrote \"What their astronomical and mathematical writings contain, will not, I trust, remain long a secret: they are easily procured, and their importance cannot be doubted\". Nevertheless, though India is nowadays a part of our daily media environment, its science, as ancient as Greek science, is still badly known and insufficiently included in history of science manuals. This book aims at helping to fill this gap by letting some of the best specialists in Indian astronomy and mathematics express themselves. They recount the evolution of these sciences, from the Aryabhatiya (6th century) to the works of the Keralese astronomers-mathematicians (13th-14th centuries), via treatises on prosody (14th century) and on astrolabe making produced since the same period. These treatises are described in association with the oldest Sanskrit astrolabe, preserved in Belgium. En 1786 deja, Sir William Jones, fondateur de l'Asiatick Society a Calcutta, ecrivait \"Pour leurs ecrits astonomiques et mathematiques, je suis sur que leur contenu ne restera pas longtemps un secret: ils sont aisement disponibles, et leur importance ne fait aucun doute\". Et pourtant, alors que l'Inde fait aujourd'hui partie de notre environnement mediatique quotidien, sa science, qui est au moins aussi ancienne que la science grecque, est toujours mal connue et trop peu integree dans les ouvrages d'histoire des sciences. Ce livre veut contribuer a combler cette lacune en donnant la parole a certains des meilleurs specialistes de l'astronomie et des mathematiques indiennes. Ceux-ci retracent l'evolution de ces sciences, depuis l'Aryabhatiya (VIe siecle) jusqu'aux travaux des astronomes mathematiciens keralais (XIII-XVIe siecles), en passant par des traites de prosodie (XIVe siecle) et de fabrication d'astrolabes composes depuis la meme epoque. Ces derniers traites sont decrits en association avec le plus ancien astrolabe sanskrit, conserve en Belgique.","PeriodicalId":30096,"journal":{"name":"Aestimatio Critical Reviews in the History of Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69506333","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}

The beautifully illustrated volume mirrors the original self-published book in stunning illustrations, information, and scope, but has a more accessible presentation and price to appeal to both trade consumers and exhibit visitors. The book explores scientific and technological history in Islamic culture from health care to astronomy to reveal the innovations of Muslim society that have shaped our modern world. Complete with a foldout timeline and map illustrating the worldly contributions of Muslims, remarkable photographs and colourful illustrations, artefacts, historic documents and drawings, this book not only reveals 1001 Muslim inventions, but provides insight into the everyday life of the historic Muslim society and related Western growth.","PeriodicalId":30096,"journal":{"name":"Aestimatio Critical Reviews in the History of Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69506077","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}
