The Almagesti minor is one of the most important works of medieval astronomy. Probably written in northern France circa 1200, it is a Latin summary of the first six books of Ptolemy’s astronomical masterpiece, the Almagest. Also known to modern scholars as the “Almagestum parvum”, the Almagesti minor provides a clear example of how a medieval scholar understood Ptolemy’s authoritative writing on cosmology, spherical astronomy, solar theory, lunar theory, and eclipses. The author incorporated the findings of astronomers of the Islamic world, such as al-Battānī, into the framework of Ptolemaic astronomy, and he altered the format and style of Ptolemy’s astronomy in order to make it accord with his own ideals of a mathematical science, which were primarily derived from Euclid’s Elements. The Almagesti minor had a profound effect upon astronomical writing throughout the 13th-15th centuries, including the work of Georg Peurbach and Johannes Regiomontanus. In this first volume of the Ptolemaeus Arabus et Latinus text series, Henry Zepeda offers not only a critical edition of this little-studied text, but also a translation into English, analysis of both the text and its geometrical figures, and a thorough study of the work’s origins, sources, and long-lasting influence.

Vers 1740, c’est la guerre à l’Académie royale des sciences. Le conflit s’est cristallisé autour de la figure de la Terre. Attaqués par les partisans de la physique de Newton, qui pensait que la Terre devait être aplatie aux pôles, les Cassini de l’Observatoire de Paris après avoir d’abord confirmé par leurs mesures de terrain leur ancienne opinion d’une Terre oblongue doivent admettre leur défaite. Les manuscrits inédits que nous publions aujourd’hui leur redonnent voix. Pièce manquante dans l’histoire de ces vifs débats, ce livre dévoile un visage inattendu de l’astronomie du 18e siècle : on y découvre un personnage de femme étonnamment moderne, qui nous aidera à appréhender les pratiques d’observation et les techniques de calcul qui fondent la précision astronomique de cette époque. C’est aussi l’occasion d’une profonde réflexion sur les différentes façons dont on peut vulgariser les sciences.
