al-Battani: Opus Astronomicum / Kitab al-Zij, Source Witness, Working Text Reader, and Table Reconstructions
收藏资源简介:
Work-level record for al-Battānī's Opus Astronomicum / Kitāb al-Zīj. Earlier versions of this same Zenodo concept foregrounded the fixed-star catalogue; this version gathers the al-Battānī work package in one place without creating a second DOI for the same work. Important correction: the generated trilingual text reader is a working layout/audit draft, not a finished canonical edition. It represents the 100 body-text segments (Arabic source with English and Chinese translations), but the text stream still requires full audit against Nallino and the tables are not yet inserted at their proper positions in the work. The reader is therefore preserved as a working artifact rather than presented as the final reader. The reliable current files include the Nallino source witness, Nallino Pars I-III table witness, the canonical v083 TeX/data/report package, a table reference supplement, the complete fixed-star catalogue, the complete geographical gazetteer, the partial chronology / Canon of Kings layer, and a Claude source/data/workflow package preserving the scripts and working files used for the table reconstruction. Table status is stated explicitly. The fixed-star catalogue is complete at the current working-edition level: 485 numbered star rows across 47 Ptolemaic figures, with ecliptic longitude and latitude values, north/south signs, magnitudes, modern identification fields, and the documented Escorial-codex lacuna shown in place. The geography gazetteer is complete with 269 locality entries. The chronology layer is useful but partial; ancient regnal-year figures remain flagged for collation. Zodiac / terms / houses auxiliary tables are not cleanly tabulated in Nallino's Latin volume and are not fabricated here. This record belongs to the broader non-European mathematics manuscript corpus, concept DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20410957, and the main raw/provenance backstop, concept DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20393488.
