Abstract

Les Tables Faciles de Ptolémée ont exercé, dans l'histoire de l'astronomie ancienne, une influence au moins égale à la Syntaxe mathématique (Almageste). Cette oeuvre comprenait un petit manuel expliquant le mode d ncienne édition, peu fiable, de l'abbé Nicolas Halma (1822 -1825). Le présent ouvrage constitue le premier volume d'une édition critique des tables astronomiques. Le volume PIOL 59a comprend d'abord une longue introduction expliquant l'histoire de ces tables et les principes suivis pour l'édition. Celle-ci concerne les tables d'ascensions droites et obliques (A1-A2), ainsi que les tables d'ascensions spéciales pour le climat de Byzance (B1). L'édition est suivie d'un apparat critique, comprenant également quelques papyri et un fragment palimpseste du Vat. syr. 623.

Abstract

Porphyry's Commentary on Ptolemy's "Harmonics" is a unique document of Neoplatonic thought on music. Not only does it contain a thorough discussion of the perception and appreciation of pitched sounds, but it also gives us a hint of how the technicalities of music theory might have been taught to non specialised readers with a philosophical background; moreover, it is a treasure of "ations from lost authors and works. The apparatus of this new edition includes all the emendations and conjectures that have been proposed by many scholars since Ingemar Düring's 1932 edition and takes into account a few manuscripts that escaped the previous editor's otherwise remarkable recensio. The boundaries of some "ations from ancient authors are redefined and many misprints corrected. Finally, the text of the Byzantine epitome of the Commentary is here edited for the first time.

Abstract

This is the first edition ever of Moerbeke's Latin translation of Ptolemy's celebrated astrological handbook, known under the title Tetrabiblos or Quadripartitum (opus). Ptolemy's treatise (composed after 141 AD) offers a systematic overview of astrological science and had, together with his Almagest, an enormous influence up until the 17th century. In the Latin Middle Ages the work was mostly known through translations from the Arabic. William of Moerbeke's translation was made directly from the Greek and it is a major scholarly achievement manifesting not only Moerbeke's genius as a translator, but also as a scientist. The edition is accompanied by extensive Greek-Latin indices, which give evidence of Moerbeke's astonishing enrichment of the Latin vocabulary, which he needed both to translate the technical scientific vocabulary and to cope with the many new terms Ptolemy created. The introduction examines Moerbeke's translation method and situates the Latin translation within the tradition of the Greek text. This edition makes possible a better assessment of the great medieval translator and also contributes to a better understanding of the Greek text of Ptolemy's masterwork.
