English Translation -- Appendices -- Bibliography. . 330 $aThis book provides the only critical edition and English translation of Ma?m?d al-Jaghm?n??s al-Mulakhkha? f? al-hay?a al-bas??a, the most widely circulated Arabic treatise on Ptolemaic astronomy ever written. Composed in the early 13th century, this introductory textbook played a crucial role in the teaching, dissemination, and institutional instruction of Islamic astronomy well into the 19th century (and beyond). Establishing the base text is a fundamental prerequisite for gaining insights into what was considered an elementary astronomical textbook in Islam and also for understanding the extensive commentary tradition that built upon it. Within this volume, the Mulakhkha? is situated within the broader context of the genre of literature termed ?ilm al-hay?a, which has become the subject of intensive research over the past 25 years. In so doing, it provides a survey of summary accounts of theoretical astronomy of Jaghm?n??s predecessors, both Ancient and Islamic, which could have served as potential sources for the Mulakhkha?. Jaghm?n??s dates (which until now remained unsettled) are established, and it is definitively shown that he composed not only the Mulakhkha? but also other scientific treatises, including the popular medical treatise al-Q?n?n?a, during a period that has been deemed one of scientific decline and stagnation in Islamic lands. The book will be of particular interest to scholars engaged in the study of Islamic theoretical astronomy, but is accessible to a general readership interested in learning what constituted an introduction to Ptolemaic astronomy in Islamic lands. 410 0$aSources and Studies in the History of Mathematics and Physical Sciences,$x2196-8810 606 $aMathematics 606 $aHistory 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aHistory of Mathematical Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M23009 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 14$aHistory of Mathematical Sciences. 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a520 700 $aRagep$b Sally P$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0755957 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163046203321 996 $aJaghm?n??s Mulakhkha?$91523417 997 $aUNINA
