  • Ix ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Ruefully I Recall That On
    ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Ruefully I recall that on two separate occasions two different American colleagues told me that there is “a place in Heaven” for those who publish bibliographical and historio- graphical studies of research fields in which they have worked, because it saves so much effort on the part of future investigators. In the course of preparing this monograph I have come to understand, through many frustrations, why that “place” surely is even more underpopulated than Heaven as a whole. And many times I have worried that work on this tome would send me thither—more likely to “the other place” than to Heaven— before it was finished! Regardless of which place reviewers may consign me to, the ministrations of hosts of angels—both individual and institutional—have been indispen- sable blessings. Chief among those haloed, winged beings have been the numerous librarians who have patiently and expertly ministered to my special bibliographical needs. Day to day at my home institution was Thomas H. Lee 李學博, then head of the Indiana University Libraries East Asian Collection, who benignly listened to my prayers and lamentations and proceeded—in collusion with his able assistant, Shelby Chen 陳冬蘭—to work miracles in getting the information or material I needed. Wen-ling Liu 劉雯玲, then in Cataloging, “rushed” things for me more often than I can remember. A fine representa- tive at IU of the usually unsung heroes in East Asian interibrary loan services is Ron Luedemann. And Tae-min (Kim) Park 朴(金)泰敏 in Serials repeatedly took time from her normal duties to help me with the correct citation of Korean works.

  • Arabic Astronomical Tables in China: Tabular Layout and Its Implications for the Transmission and Use of the Huihui Lifa
    EASTM 44 (2016): 21-68 Arabic Astronomical Tables in China: Tabular Layout and its Implications for the Transmission and Use of the Huihui lifa Li Liang [Li Liang is an assistant professor at the Institute for the History of Natural Sciences in the Chinese Academy of Sciences beginning in 2013. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Science and Technology in 2011 and was a postdoctoral scholar working on the ANR Project “History of Numerical Tables” at REHSEIS-SPHERE, UMR 7219, CNRS and University Paris Diderot in 2012. Contact: [email protected]] * * * Abstract: This paper examines the early transmission and translation of Arabic astronomical tables in China by comparing the layouts of parallax correction tables. After comparing the layouts of equation tables in various Huihui lifa works, this paper concludes that the characteristics of tabular layout are related to the specific nature of each work, and these adjustments thereto may reflect changes in their intended audience and purpose. Com- parison of a single type of table that appears in Huihui lifa works of different eras in one-dimensional array, two-dimensional array, and rotational sym- metry layouts illustrates that Chinese astronomical tables continually ab- sorbed and adapted the advantages offered by Arabic and European coun- terparts, flexibly adapting them to their own purposes on the basis of their own tradition and habits. Introduction When the transmission of Arabic astronomy1 into China began has yet to be settled. Some scholars believe that it can be traced back to Ma Yize (921-1005), who in the early Song dynasty (960-1279) came to China from the Near East to participate in the compilation of the Yingtian li (imple- mented c.
