"The 17th-century Brahmatulyasāraṇīis a rich repository of information about Indian mathematical astronomy and its genres of scientific writing in Sanskrit. This painstaking critical edition, translation, and technical analysis of the work includes detailed technical background about its content and relation to the seminal 12th-century astronomical handbook Karaṇakutūhala. This book explores important contextual information about the role and study of numerical tables in pre-modern astronomy, as well as the many challenges arising from critically editing numerical data in the Indian astral sciences"--

Le traité de Plutarque Sur le visage qui apparaît dans le disque de la lune (communément désigné par son titre latin en abrégé : De facie) comprend deux parties, une discussion sur la nature du visage que donne à voir la lune et un mythe final. La première partie est d'un intérêt considérable pour l'histoire de l'astronomie, de la cosmologie, de la géographie et de la catoptrique. Le fait que Képler a traduit et annoté ce traité atteste de la haute valeur scientifique de ce dernier. Quant au mythe final il constitue un document important pour notre connaissance de la démonologie et des théories de l'âme dans la tradition platonicienne.
