History Of Astronomy, Tables: Planetary Latitudes

Scientific paper

The study of planetary theory in Ptolemaic astronomy has concentrated on the models and tables for planetary longitudes, and considerably less attention has been paid to Ptolemy's models and tables for planetary latitudes. Our plan is first to give a brief survey of the history of tables for planetary latitude, particularly those that include, for Venus and Mercury, columns for the deviation. Then we will describe Bianchini's tables for planetary latitude in detail. Finally, we will discuss Copernicus's copy of Bianchini's tables for planetary latitude.
