Beim Traktat des bekannten alexandrinischen Gelehrten und Aristoteles-Kommentators Johannes Philoponos (6. Jh. n. Chr.) über das Astrolab handelt es sich um eine kleine, für die Wissenschaftsgeschichte aber sehr bedeutsame Schrift, da es die älteste erhaltene Beschreibung und Funktionsanleitung des später besonders im islamischen Bereich weit verbreiteten astronomischen Gerätes enthält. Die Schrift ist in der Philologie recht stiefmütterlich behandelt worden und war bis jetzt lediglich als Beitrag im ‚Rheinischen Museum‘ von 1839 zugänglich. Das Ziel des vorliegenden Büchleins besteht darin, den griechischen Text in einer neu redigierten, durch Berücksichtigung weiterer Handschriften gestützten Fassung vorzulegen und die Abhandlung mit einer deutschen Übersetzung und den nötigen Erläuterungen und Illustrationen einem weiteren Interessentenkreis zugänglich zu machen. Den griechischen Vorfahren der späteren kunstvollen islamischen und abendländischen Astrolabgeräten kennenzulernen, dürfte nicht nur den Fachmann interessieren. This treatise on the astrolabe by the Alexandrian scholar John Philoponos includes the earliest preserved description of the planispherical device that was later widely disseminated during the Middle Ages. Stückelberger’s edition is intended for philologists as well as historians and astronomers. The newly edited Greek text is accompanied by a German translation, explanations, and illustrations.

This volume is the first collection of scholarly articles in any modern language devoted to Aristotle’s De caelo . It grew out of series of workshops held at Princeton, Cambridge, and Paris in the late 1990’s. Since Aristotle’s De caelo had a major influence on cosmological thinking until the time of Galileo and Kepler and helped to shape the way in which Western civilization imagined its natural environment and place at the center of the universe, familiarity with the main doctrines of the De caelo is a prerequisite for an understanding of much of the thought and culture of antiquity and the Middle Ages. This book is also available in paperback.
