商品の説明著者　KAYLanguage: EnglishPages: 136 (Figures: 13, Maps: 1)PREFACEAlthough many distinguish Orient lists have written on /"Indian Astronomy/" there is no general account of this subject now available in the English Language. The present attempt to supply a summary account of the astronomical material recorded in early and mediaeval Hindu works is therefore to some extent justified. In the matter of choice and treatment of topic the author of such a summary is always open to criticism. Many items of interest have to be omitted or touched upon very lightly, and the author's predilection may lead to undue emphasis on certain matters. In the present work such subjects as the Hindu calendar and Hindu chronology are not formally dealt with, since they are treated with some elaboration in various excellent books that are readily available; while the semi-religious and astrological aspects of astronomy have been dealt with more fully.Sample Pages商品の情報カテゴリー本・雑誌・漫画 > 本 > 洋書商品の状態やや傷や汚れあり発送元の地域神奈川県
