History Of Astronomy

Scientific paper

Recent investigations of the astronomical work of the Byzantine Platonist George Gemistus Plethon provided the motivation, for Plethon's work encapsulated to many of the cross-currents flowing in astronomy in the early fifteenth century. At a time when the Byzantine world was in a state of collapse, and perhaps for that reason was more susceptible to foreign influence, Plethon drew not only on Ptolemy, but on the Greek Persian Syntaxis, and on al-Bāttani mediated through Hebrew. Both Plethon and his star pupil Cardinal Bessarion were great benefactors of scholarship, science, and philosophy in Renaissance Italy.
