Commentari di Ipparco ai Fenomeni di Arato ed Eudosso

Abstract

This is the first translation of Hipparchus Commentaries on the Phenomena of Aratus and Eudoxus into a modern language since the one, in German, published by the philologist Karl Heinrich August Manitius in 1894. Published in 2013, it is now also available online. This is also the first detailed astronomical commentary on the work, produced with the support of Starry Night Pro Plus 8 software (very reliable for both precession and stellar proper motions), configured for the epochs and sites where Aratus, Eudoxus and Hipparchus worked. The translation is by Bruna Cusinato. The introduction and astronomical commentary are by Gabriele Vanin.
