The Sanskrit Astronomical Table Text Brahmatulyasarani: Numerical tables in textual scholarship

Anuj Misra,Clemency Montelle,Kim Plofker

The 17th-century Brahmatulyasarani is 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 Karanakutuhala. 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.
