Philological Study of Islamic Science In India

我们参观了印度的图书馆，这些图书馆收藏有天文学、占星术和数学领域的阿拉伯文手稿。山本2002年去了阿里格尔穆斯林大学和拉姆普尔拉扎图书馆，而我2003年去了巴特那的拉姆普尔和胡达巴赫什东方公共图书馆。2004年，东京大学的研究生三村太郎带着他自己的JSPS基金加入了我们。我们一起参观了新德里的哈姆达德大学和库达·巴赫什图书馆。在库达·巴赫什图书馆，我们只被允许拍摄100页的照片，而山本在拉姆普尔拍摄了大约600张照片。三村和我参观了拉贾斯坦通克的阿拉伯和波斯研究所。在斋浦尔，我们参观了Jantar Mantar天文台和ManSingh II博物馆的图书馆。我们了解到伊斯兰天文学和传统的印度天文学是如何在天文台和Jai Sing II的宫廷中共存的。我确认了研究Jai Singh的成就对我们目前项目的重要性。Yamamoto和我继续编辑al-Biruni的占星术作品Tafhim并准备出版。我一直在使用我们在Aligarh和Rampur获得的手稿来编辑al-Biruni的作品al-Qanun al-Masudi。我已经完成了Kushyar ibn Labban关于天体的大小和距离的工作的独特手稿的编辑，我的日语翻译现在可以使用了。我还将把它翻译成英文，并在<nd>2005年7月在北京举行的第22届国际科学史大会上宣读一篇关于这一主题的论文。

We visited Indian libraries which possess Arabic manuscripts in the field of astronomy, astrology, and mathematics. Yamamoto went to Aligarh Muslim University and Rampur Raza Library in 2002, while I went to Rampur and Khuda Bakhsh Oriental Public Library in Patna in 2003. In 2004 Taro Mimura, a graduate student of the University of Tokyo, joined us with his own JSPS fund We visited Hamdard University in New Delhi as well as Khuda Bakhsh Library together.We were allowed to take photographs of only 100 pages in Khuda Bakhsh Library, while Yamamoto was successful in taking about 600 shots of photographs in Rampur. Mimura and I visited the Arabic and Persian Research Institute in Tonk, Rajastan. In Jaipur we visited Jantar Mantar astronomical observatory and the library of Man Singh II Museum. We learned how Islamic astronomy and traditional Indian astronomy were coexistent in the observatory and in the court of Jai Sing II. I confirmed the importance of studying the achievement of Jai Singh for our present project.Yamamoto and I continued editing al-Biruni's astrological work Tafhim and prepared for its publication.I have been working on al-Biruni's work al-Qanun al-Masudi using the manuscripts which we have acquired in Aligarh and Rampur. I have finished editing the unique manuscript of Kushyar ibn Labban's work on the size and distance of heavenly bodies and my Japanese translation is available now. I will also translate it into English and read a paper on this topic in the 22^<nd> International Congress on History of Science to be held in Beijing in July, 2005.
