Return to The Worlds of David Darling INDEX LATEST NEWS ARCHIVE ... Z entire Web this site Arabian astronomy Following Ptolemy Greek astronomy rapidly declined and ended with the Arabian conquest of Alexandria in A.D. 641. Although the magnificent library and museum were destroyed, the Arabs encouraged learning and for the next 800 years developed an important astronomical tradition of their own. Observatories were established at a number of cities including Damascus, Cairo, Baghdad, and Meragha. One of the greatest stimuli to Arabian astronomy was the need to calculate and maintain the Islamic calendar , which demanded new mathematical methods and more precise timekeeping. Among the greatest of Arabic astronomers were Al-Farghani (?-c. 861), Albategnius (Al-Battani, Muhammad ibn Jabir) (c. 850-929), Al-Sufi , Abd al-Rahman (903-986), Abu’l-Wafa’, Mohammed Al-Buzjani (940-998), Al-Quhi, Abu Sahl Wayjan ibn Rustam (c. 940-c. 1000), Alhazen (Abu Ali al Hassan ibn al Haitham) (c. 965-c. 1040)

The University of Amsterdam (Uva) is the only university in the world to offer an educational programm in the field of western esoterics. This minor is part of the Studies in Religions and apparently started in 1999. Historical developments and the cultural influence of alternative religious thought is the subject of study. Part of this is what is called "occult science", meaning astrology, alchemy and magic. Other subjects of study are hermetic philosophy, Paracelsus, Rosicrucians, Freemasonry, Theosophy and the rise of New Age thought. Meantime there also are Master's programmes in mysticism and Western esotericism ( www.hum.uva.nl/graduateschool

This is the quadratic formula, as it is taught to most of us in school: x -b a a b ac gives the solution to a generic quadratic equation of the form: ax bx c The development, or derivation, of a mathematical idea is usually as logical, deducible and rectilinear as possible. This brings about the common notion that its historical development is similarly as continuous, logical and rectilinear: one mathematician picking up an idea where another mathematician left it. Using the quadratic formula as an example, it will be shown that the historical development of mathematics is not at all rectilinear. Instead, parallel developments, interconnections and confluences can be found, which - to complicate this stuff even further - are also interrelated with social, cultural, political and religious matters. The so-called quadratic formula has been derived in the course of a few millennia to its current form, which is taught to most of us in school. This Entry will strictly concentrate on the historical development of the quadratic formula. Some mathematical background may be of use to fully understand the described development, however the maths used in this Entry will be kept at a necessary minimum.

The Infancy Narratives in Matthew and Luke by James Kiefer PART ONE INTRODUCTION THE STAR AND THE MAGI THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM A COMET OR NOVA? Let us consider the opening of the second chapter of Matthew: + Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of + Herod the king, there came Magi from the East to Jerusalem + saying, "Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have + seen his star in the rising and have come to pay him homage." THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM A PLANETARY CONJUNCTION? AN ASTROLOGY LESSON JUPITER, SATURN, AND PISCES Matthew describes the wise men as seeing a star and deducing that it heralded the birth of a great king. Whatever else the wise men were, they were astrologers that is, they believed that the motions and appearances of the heavenly bodies foretold earthly events. Now a simple conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, such as happened every twenty years, would not seem especially significant, but a triple conjunction would receive more attention. What would astrologers of that time take it to mean? Jupiter was regarded as the royal planet, the sign of kings. Therefore the conjunction would have been taken to indicate a royal event, such as the birth of a king.

HOME TOPIC of the MONTH ARTS PERSONALITIES ... HEBREW LESSONS Throughout the ages, reports of a birth have often included the hope that the baby had been born be-mazal tov , or be-siman tov , followed by the traditional blessing that the child grow up to a life of Torah, to marry, and perform good deeds. The announcement of a birth in a Jewish family today is greeted customarily by family and friends with the same Hebrew words, expressing hope that the infant was born with good luck under a good sign, siman , or star, mazal . The Talmud uses mazal to mean "star" or "constellation"; this word has come to mean "luck" through the historical popularity of astrology. Talmudic sages discussed the effects of the celestial configuration on the night of birth on a person later in life and expected similarities between two people born under the same star. For example, one sage proposed that a person born on Sunday would be distinguished; on Monday, wrathful; on Tuesday, wealthy and sensual; on Wednesday, intelligent and enlightened; on Thursday, benevolent; on Friday, pious. If born on the Sabbath, he was destined to die on a Sabbath. Astrologers estimated that the influence of the ruling planet at the hour of birth could be decisive in determining character, health, and longevity. For example, someone born under the influence of Venus could become rich and adulterous, whereas someone born under Jupiter was more likely to become a righteous observer of commandments. The manner in which the celestial configuration governed behavior remained controversial among Jews for many centuries, however. Nevertheless, someone born under a favorable constellation was considered lucky, whereas if the ruling planet was likely to have unpleasant influences, a person would have to use intelligence and judgment to overcome expected ill effects.
