摘要

摘要 本研究考察了巴比伦关于新月间隔 NA(初见月亮之日的日落到月落)的记录,以及该间隔与月亮长度的联系。我的研究表明,《正常星历》中的新月间隔是用目标年法计算的,然后依次用来预测一年中每个月的长度。我进一步论证了这些预测的月长,在月亮能见度被认为很低的情况下偶尔根据观测结果进行调整,这些月长构成了巴比伦晚期历法的基础。

The new moon interval NA and the beginning of the Babylonian month

This study examines Babylonian records of the new moon interval NA (sunset to moonset on the day of first lunar visibility) and the connection of this interval to the length of the moon. I show that the NA intervals in the Normal Star Almanacs were computed using the goal-year method and were then used in turn to predict the lengths of each month of the year. I further argue that these predicted month lengths, adjusted occasionally on the basis of observation in cases where the moon’s visibility was considered marginal, formed the basis of the Late Babylonian calendar.

期刊介绍: The Archive for History of Exact Sciences casts light upon the conceptual groundwork of the sciences by analyzing the historical course of rigorous quantitative thought and the precise theory of nature in the fields of mathematics, physics, technical chemistry, computer science, astronomy, and the biological sciences, embracing as well their connections to experiment. This journal nourishes historical research meeting the standards of the mathematical sciences. Its aim is to give rapid and full publication to writings of exceptional depth, scope, and permanence.
