Studies in the History of the Exact Sciences in Honour of David Pingree
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 noi 2003
The book includes several critical editions and translations of hitherto unknown or understudied texts, and a particular emphasis is on the diffusion of scientific learning from one culture to another, and through time.
Above all, the essays show the variety and sophistication of the exact sciences in non-Western societies in pre-modern times.

Recenzii
« Les articles publiés sont vraiment d’un intérêt remarquable tout en contribuant à l’histoire des mathématiques, de
l’astronomie et de l’astrologie. La parution de ce tome n’est pas seulement une manifestation d’honneur à une personne dédiée à la recherche et à la science, comme l’était David Pingree (1933-2005), mais aussi une contribution exceptionnelle à l’étude de l’histoire des sciences du monde antique et médiéval. »
