  • Alexander Jones Calendrica I: New Callippic Dates
    ALEXANDER JONES CALENDRICA I: NEW CALLIPPIC DATES aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 129 (2000) 141–158 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 141 CALENDRICA I: NEW CALLIPPIC DATES 1. Introduction. Callippic dates are familiar to students of Greek chronology, even though up to the present they have been known to occur only in a single source, Ptolemy’s Almagest (c. A.D. 150).1 Ptolemy’s Callippic dates appear in the context of discussions of astronomical observations ranging from the early third century B.C. to the third quarter of the second century B.C. In the present article I will present new attestations of Callippic dates which extend the period of the known use of this system by almost two centuries, into the middle of the first century A.D. I also take the opportunity to attempt a fresh examination of what we can deduce about the Callippic calendar and its history, a topic that has lately been the subject of quite divergent treatments. The distinguishing mark of a Callippic date is the specification of the year by a numbered “period according to Callippus” and a year number within that period. Each Callippic period comprised 76 years, and year 1 of Callippic Period 1 began about midsummer of 330 B.C. It is an obvious, and very reasonable, supposition that this convention for counting years was instituted by Callippus, the fourth- century astronomer whose revisions of Eudoxus’ planetary theory are mentioned by Aristotle in Metaphysics Λ 1073b32–38, and who also is prominent among the authorities cited in astronomical weather calendars (parapegmata).2 The point of the cycles is that 76 years contain exactly four so-called Metonic cycles of 19 years.

Now we are planning the next Mars mission in the late 2010’s. This paper describes the preliminary mission analysis and orbit design for this plan. The combined exploration by several spacecraft requires complicated and careful consideration, different from those for single-probe missions. Mission plans to realize required configuration by a single launch and simple simulation results are reported. Key Words: Mars, Mission Analysis, Orbit Design, MELOS 1. Introduction 2.1.1.

    Andrei V. Lebedev, Izbavliaias’ ot «dosokratikov» (Getting rid of the «Presocratics»), in: Philosophy in the dialogue of cultures. Materials of the World Philosophy Day (Moscow - St. Petersburg, November 16 -19, 2009), p. 177 - 183 (in Russian). Translated into English by the author. This paper was delivered in the Institute of philosophy of the Russian Academy of sciences at the Round Table «Getting rid of stereotypes in the history of philosophy». Some explanatory remarks that have been added in the English translation are placed in square brackets. In 1903 the Weidmann Publishing House in Berlin published the first edition of Die Fragmente der Vorsokratiker by the distinguished German classical scholar Hermann Diels which still remains the most complete single edition of the fragments of the Early Greek philosophers (of the VI - V centuries B.C.). In the first edition it started with Thales and ended with «Anhang» that contained pre-philosophical tradition (cosmogonic poetry and prose, the sayings of the Seven Sages) as well as the fragments of the Sophists. After Diels’s death (1922) his disciple Walter Kranz in the last 5th edition (1934) gave it its present structure by dividing the whole text into three parts: A) Anfänge (pre-philosophical tradition), B) Fragments of the Greek Philosophers of the 6th and 5th centuries and their immediate followers and C) Sophists. There are all in all 90 chapters, in which about 400 names are mentioned, of which 235 derive from Jamblichus’ Catalogue of Pythagoreans. Diels himself explained in the preface to the first edition that he included in his collection also some mathematicians and a selection of non-Hippocratic doctors.

  • The Draconic Gearing of the Antikythera Mechanism: Assembling the Fragment D, Its Role and Operation
    The Draconic gearing of the Antikythera Mechanism: Assembling the Fragment D, its role and operation A.Voulgaris1, C.Mouratidis2, A.Vossinakis3, G.Bokovos4 (Submitted 14 January 2020) 1Municipality of Thessaloniki, Directorate Culture and Tourism, Thessaloniki, GR-54625, Greece 2Hellenic Ministry of Education, Research and Religious Affairs, Kos, GR-85300, Greece 3Thessaloniki Astronomy Club, Thessaloniki, GR-54646, Greece 4Thessaloniki Science Center and Technology Museum-Planetarium, Thermi, GR-57001, Greece Abstract The unplaced Fragment D of the Antikythera Mechanism with an unknown operation was a mystery since the beginning of its discovery. The gear-r1, which was detected on the Fragment radiographies by C. Karakalos, is preserved in excellent condition, but this was not enough to correlate it to the existing gear trainings of the Mechanism. The suggestion that this gear could be a part of the hypothetical planet indication gearing is still a hypothesis since no mechanical evidence has been preserved. After the analysis of AMRP tomographies of Fragment D and its mechanical characteristics revealed that it could be part of the Draconic gearing. Although the Draconic cycle was well known during the Mechanism’s era as represents the fourth Lunar cycle, it seems that it is missing from the Antikythera Mechanism. The study of Fragment D was supported by the bronze reconstruction of the Draconic gearing by the authors. The adaptation of the Draconic gearing on the Antikythera Mechanism improves its functionality and gives answers on several questions. 1. Introduction. The Antikythera Mechanism, a geared machine based on the lunar cycles The Antikythera Mechanism a creation of an ingenious manufacturer of the Hellenistic era was a geared machine capable of performing complex astronomical calculations, mostly based on the lunar periodic cycles.

  • Matteo Martelli the Four Books of Pseudo-Democritus Gianna Katsiampoura
    139 objets quotidiens comme des objets d’épopée, pour susciter une émotion mais aussi un sentiment du beau où l’humain sans cesse se refonde, pour nommer et renommer les choses. C’est précisément dans ce passage du morcellement à l’unité et de la rupture à l’ouverture que l’exister dans l’infini trouve sons sens, selon Blay; comme une naissance au poétique toujours à renaître pour ne pas étouffer dans le silence du penser avec l’infini. Une résurgence comme une résistance, un appel à la résistance. Matteo Martelli The Four Books of Pseudo-Democritus Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry, Maney Publishing, 2014 Gianna Katsiampoura DOI 10.1484/J.ALMAGEST.5.103572 In the span of the last decades, interest for the Greek alchemical tradition has reanimated, after a long period of time, during which the main subject of research was Latin alchemy. The first collection of Greek alchemical manuscripts was the edition by M. Berthelot and Ch.-Em. Ruelle, Collection des ancients alchimistes grecs,15published at the end of the 19th century. It included several works by Alexandrian and Byzantine writers, with the exception of the work of Stephanus of Alexandria, which was edited by Ideler26four decades ago. The next important project was the series Catalogue des manuscrits alchimiques grecs, under the direction of J. Bidez, F. Cumont, A. Delatte, O. Lagercrantz and J. Ruska. The series consisted of eight volumes, published between 1924 and 1932. The 1970s’ work on Greek alchemical manuscripts by e.g. R. Halleux, M. Mertens and C. Viano renewed the interest for Greek alchemy.
