The Circulation of Astronomical Knowledge in the Ancient World explores the ways in which astronomical knowledge circulated between different communities of scholars over time and space, and what was done with that knowledge when it was received. Examples are discussed from Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Greco-Roman world, India, and China. 410 0$aTime, astronomy, and calendars ;$vVolume 6. 606 $aAstronomy, Ancient 615 0$aAstronomy, Ancient. 676 $a520.93 702 $aSteele$b John M. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798392203321 996 $aThe circulation of astronomical knowledge in the ancient world$93710786 997 $aUNINA
