Before the sixteenth century astronomical models introduced by Ptolemy in Antiquity were rarely challenged, and innovation consisted in elaborating new methods for calculating planetary positions and other celestial phenomena. Essays on Medieval Computational Astronomy includes twelve articles that focus on astronomical tables, offering many examples where the meaning and purpose of such tables has been determined by careful analysis. In evaluating the work of medieval scholars we are mindful of the importance of applying criteria consistent with their own time, which may be different from those appropriate for other periods. 410 0$aTime, astronomy, and calendars ;$vVolume 5. 606 $aAstronomy, Medieval 606 $aAstronomy$vTables 615 0$aAstronomy, Medieval. 615 0$aAstronomy 676 $a521.01/51 700 $aChaba?s$b Jose?$f1948-$01480246 702 $aGoldstein$b Bernard R. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787903403321 996 $aEssays on medieval computational astronomy$93702202 997 $aUNINA
