Throughout History, the Indian Ocean has been a zone of interaction between far-flung civilizations served by ports, and connected with the Mediterranean by the Gulf and Red Sea. The shows that were the vehicles of commercial and cultural exchange over this vast expanse of ocean ranged from small craft rarely venturing out of sight of land, to cargo vessels carrying navigators skilled in the art of deep sea sailing. These Arab, Persian and Indian seamen used the seasonal monsoon winds, and applied navigational techniques that relied on their ability to read the stars in the night sky - skills that had developed down the generations from time immemorial. This stellar navigation, based on measuring the altitude of the Pole Star to establish latitude and on the risings and settings of certain stars to find direction, grew into a complex art, belying the simplicity of the instruments used. Bringing together six scholars specializing in the maritime history and culture of the Arabs (Anthony R. Constable, William Facey, Yacoub Al-Hijji, Paul Lunde, Hassan Salih Shihab and Eric Staples), this book makes a new and vital contribution to the study of a nautical culture that has hitherto not received its due share of attention, and which is vital to an understanding of Indian Ocean history. Drawing on source material such as the guides by the renowned southern Arabian navigators Ahmad ibn Majid and Sulayman al-Mahri in the 15th and 16th centuries AD, as well as surviving logbooks of how captains in the early 20th, the volume covers the principal ideas, techniques, instruments and calculations used, deploying astronomy, geometry and mathematics to explain their methods. It includes an account of a practical attempt to apply these methods in 2010, on an adventurous voyage from Muscat to Singapore in a reconstructed early medieval dhow, and concludes with an analysis of sailing conditions in the Red Sea..
纵观历史，印度洋一直是遥远文明交流的区域，有港口为其服务，并通过海湾和红海与地中海相连。这些展品是在这片辽阔的海洋上进行商业和文化交流的工具，从很少冒险离开陆地的小船到载着精通深海航行艺术的导航员的货船。这些阿拉伯、波斯和印度的水手利用季节性的季风，并运用他们的导航技术，这些技术依赖于他们阅读夜空中的星星的能力——这些技能从远古时代就代代相传。这种通过测量北极星的高度来确定纬度，通过某些恒星的升起和落下来确定方向的恒星导航，逐渐发展成为一门复杂的艺术，掩盖了所用仪器的简单性。这本书汇集了六位专门研究阿拉伯海洋历史和文化的学者(Anthony R. Constable, William Facey, jacob Al-Hijji, Paul Lunde, Hassan Salih Shihab和Eric Staples)，对迄今为止尚未得到应有关注的航海文化研究做出了新的重要贡献，对理解印度洋历史至关重要。绘制源材料，如由著名的南阿拉伯航海家艾哈迈德伊本马吉德和苏莱曼al-Mahri在公元15世纪和16世纪的指南，以及幸存的日志如何船长在20世纪初，该卷涵盖了主要的思想，技术，仪器和计算使用，部署天文学，几何和数学来解释他们的方法。它包括在2010年应用这些方法的实际尝试，在一次从马斯喀特到新加坡的冒险航行中，在重建的中世纪早期单桅帆船上，并以红海航行条件的分析结束。

After a foreword by Jan Assmann, the book is organized by chapters along an increasingly specific chronological framework: early origins and ancient Hermetica, followed by chapters on the Hermetica in the Middle Ages, in the Renaissance, in the 17th century, in the 18th and 19th centuries, and in the 20th century. The treatment is most convincing, and contributes the most, in the half of the book comprising the third, fourth, and fifth chapters: Hermeticism from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment is clearly the author’s strength.
