| Zusammenfassung: | This collection of essays reflects the wide range of David Pingree's expertise in the scientific texts (above all, concerning astronomy and astrology) of Ancient Mesopotamia, Greece, India, Persia, and the medieval Arabic, Hebrew and Latin traditions. Both theoretical aspects and the practical applications of the exact sciences-in time keeping, prediction of the future, and the operation of magic-are dealt with. The book includes several critical editions and translations of hitherto unknown or understudied texts, and a particular emphasis is on the diffusion of scientific learning from one culture to another, and through time. Above all, the essays show the variety and sophistication of the exact sciences in non-Western societies in pre-modern times. |

Both theoretical aspects and the practical applications of the exact sciences-in time keeping, prediction of the future, and the operation of magic-are dealt with. The book includes several critical editions and translations of hitherto unknown or understudied texts, and a particular emphasis is on the diffusion of scientific learning from one culture to another, and through time. Above all, the essays show the variety and sophistication of the exact sciences in non-Western societies in pre-modern times.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Pingree, David Edwin</subfield><subfield code="d">1933-2005</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)129395943</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="648" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Geschichte</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Natuurwetenschappen</subfield><subfield code="2">gtt</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Geschichte</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Naturwissenschaft</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Science</subfield><subfield code="z">India</subfield><subfield code="x">History</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Science</subfield><subfield code="z">Islamic countries</subfield><subfield code="x">History</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Science, Medieval</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Astronomie</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4003311-9</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Mathematik</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4037944-9</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Indien</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4143413-4</subfield><subfield code="a">Aufsatzsammlung</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd-content</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4006432-3</subfield><subfield code="a">Bibliografie</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd-content</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4016928-5</subfield><subfield code="a">Festschrift</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd-content</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Mathematik</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4037944-9</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Geschichte</subfield><subfield code="A">z</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="5">DE-604</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="1" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Astronomie</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4003311-9</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="1" ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Geschichte</subfield><subfield code="A">z</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="5">DE-604</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="2" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Pingree, David Edwin</subfield><subfield code="d">1933-2005</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)129395943</subfield><subfield code="D">p</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="2" ind2=" "><subfield code="5">DE-604</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Pingree, David Edwin</subfield><subfield code="d">1933-2005</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)129395943</subfield><subfield code="4">hnr</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Burnett, Charles</subfield><subfield code="d">1951-</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)137454031</subfield><subfield code="4">edt</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="830" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Islamic philosophy, theology and science</subfield><subfield code="v">volume 54</subfield><subfield code="w">(DE-604)BV004308603</subfield><subfield code="9">54</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">Digitalisierung UB Regensburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment</subfield><subfield code="q">application/pdf</subfield><subfield code="u">http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=010657900&sequence=000002&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA</subfield><subfield code="3">Inhaltsverzeichnis</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="999" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">oai:aleph.bib-bvb.de:BVB01-010657900</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="942" ind1="1" ind2="1"><subfield code="c">509</subfield><subfield code="e">22/bsb</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |
