This exciting collection of articles was a result of a 2015 conference by the same name, “Ptolemy’s Science of the Stars in the Middle Ages”, sponsored by the Ptolemaeus Arabus et Latinus (PAL). Like the entire PAL project, this work highlights Arabic and Latin scholars’ criticisms of, inquiries into, and refutations of, the Ptolemaic corpus and astrological conceptions of the universe. Consisting of 15 articles organized into three sections—“The Greek and Near Eastern Traditions”, “The Arabic Tradition”, and “The Latin Tradition”—this collection is comprehensive. It features novel, important research on Ptolemy’s works and the influence of Ptolemaic thought by top scholars in the field. The volume will be of particular value to specialists but is accessible to others interested in the history of astronomy and mathematics.

This book is a contribution to the growing body of scholarship on Anatolian cult practice, focusing on the distinctive regional cults that flourished in the interior of Anatolia during the Roman era. The work owes its origins to a doctoral dissertation developed at Alexander Ioan Cuza University in Iaşi, Romania, and defended at the University of Angers, France. The author’s objective is to examine Anatolian cults of the Roman Empire period that use solar and lunar symbolism. The work is divided into two broad sections. The first describes the Anatolian deities that the author identifies as solar and lunar gods and discusses their rituals and the place of their cults in Anatolian society. The second contains a compilation of the literary testimonia and epigraphical texts that furnish the primary data for solar and lunar cults in Anatolia.
这本书是对安纳托利亚邪教实践不断增长的学术机构的贡献，重点关注罗马时代安纳托利亚内部蓬勃发展的独特区域邪教。这项工作的起源要归功于一篇博士论文，该论文由罗马尼亚ii的Alexander Ioan Cuza大学撰写，并在法国昂热大学进行了辩护。作者的目的是研究罗马帝国时期使用太阳和月亮象征的安纳托利亚邪教。这项工作分为两大部分。第一部分描述了作者认为是安那托利亚的太阳神和月亮神，并讨论了他们的仪式和他们的邪教在安那托利亚社会中的地位。第二个包含了文学见证和铭文文本的汇编，为安纳托利亚的太阳和月亮崇拜提供了原始数据。

This is the third of a three-volume series of essay collections based on three conferences held in Paris at the École pratique des hautes études in 2015–2016. The papers delivered at the conferences have been arranged thematically for publication—with a few essays being moved and a few others commissioned for the printed version—by Dragos Calma as general editor, who planned and organized the original sessions together with the late Marc Geoffroy. The first volume deals with a wide range of topics in connection with the Western intellectual tradition from Antiquity to the Renaissance; the second is arranged geographically and deals with the Byzantium, the Caucasus, the Lands of Islam, the Latin West, and the Hebraic Tradition; while the third contains the essays having the most overtly philosophical character within the various traditions.
这是基于2015-2016年在巴黎举行的École pratique des hautes samutes会议的三卷本系列文集中的第三本。会议上发表的论文已按主题安排出版，其中一些论文被转移，其他一些被委托印刷，由Dragos Calma担任总编辑，他与已故的Marc Geoffroy一起策划和组织了最初的会议。第一卷涉及从古代到文艺复兴时期与西方知识分子传统有关的广泛主题;第二部分按地理位置排列，涉及拜占庭、高加索、伊斯兰土地、拉丁西部和希伯来传统;而第三种则包含了各种传统中最明显的哲学特征。

Since the appearance of its first volume in 1993, Micrologus, a periodical published by the Società Internazionale per lo Studio del Medioevo Latino (SISMEL) under the editorial aegis of Agostino Paravicini Bagliani, has developed into a significant forum for historical scholarship on medieval ideas about/approaches bearing on the natural world and their social settings—as indicated in the subtitle Nature, Sciences and Medieval Societies. Known for its annual volumes on themes such as “the Human Skin” and “Silence”, Micrologus has maintained a consistent approach of publishing the proceedings of highly focused academic colloquia rather than going down the conventional route of a submission-based journal. A broadly similar thematic outlook combined with a greater diversity of formats has come to characterize Micrologus Library, a companion book series launched in 1998 and now exceeding 110 volumes. Its entries have included proceedings volumes, single-author essay collections, textual editions, and a few monographs.

The Doctrine of Triangles is the second half of Glen Van Brummelen’s history of trigonometry. The first part, The Mathematics of the Heavens and the Earth [Van Brummelen 2009] dealt with the early history of trigonometry, from “precursors” in ancient Egyptian and Babylonian sources (dating from the second millennium BC), through to the trigonometric tables of Georg Rheticus in the 16th century AD. The present volume begins with a brief account of the story so far and then continues the story through to the early 20th century. It will be helpful to review briefly that “story so far”.
三角学说是格伦·范·布鲁梅伦三角学历史的后半部分。第一部分《天地数学》(The Mathematics of The Heavens and Earth, Van Brummelen 2009)讲述了三角学的早期历史，从古埃及和巴比伦的“先驱”(可追溯到公元前2000年)一直到公元16世纪乔治·雷提库斯的三角表。本卷首先简要介绍了到目前为止的故事，然后继续讲述到20世纪初的故事。简要回顾一下“到目前为止的情况”将会有所帮助。
