36"The Book of Fixed Stars was written shortly before 964 AD. Dr. Paul "
37"Kunitzsch described it as \"the most outstanding among the works of the "
38"prominent astronomer Abu 'l-Ḥusayn 'Abd al-Raḥmān ibn 'Umar al-Şūfi (born in"
39" Rayy, 903; died 986), referred to as al-Sufi. In it, al-Şūfī treats the 48 "
40"classical constellations, which were established and transmitted in "
41"Ptolemy's Almagest. The description of each constellation comprises the "
42"following four sections: first, a general discussion of the constellation "
43"and its individual stars; this section also includes alŞūfi's criticism of "
44"the Ptolemaic tradition and notices of his own observations. Second, a "
45"record of the indigenous Arabic star names falling under that constellation,"
46" and the exact identification of the respective stars with the corresponding"
47" Ptolemaic stars. Third, two drawings of the constellation, one as it is "
48"seen on a celestial globe, and the other one as it is seen in the sky. "
49"Fourth, a table of the stars making up that constellation, giving a verbal "
50"description of each star's location and its longitude, latitude, and "
51"magnitude. This table closely follows the arrangement of Ptolemy's star "
52"catalogue in the Almagest.\" <sup><a href=\"#footnote-1\">[1]</a></sup>. In "
53"addition to the four sections of each constellation mentioned by dr. "
54"Kunitzsch, Al-Sufi would identify stars within the 6 magnitudes that were "
55"neglected by Ptolemy, but he did not catalogue them and was faithful to "
56"Ptolemy star catalog."

62"An important aspect of the general discussion section is Al-Sufi method of "
63"facilitating the star identification. He describes each individual star in "
64"more than way: By the star position related to the constellation figure, by "
65"its magnitude, by the asterism it forms with other stars like triangle or "
66"arc shapes, sometimes by the star position related to the Milky way, and by "
67"the angular distance from a close by star. I have counted more than 700 "
68"angular distances measured by al-Sufi in his book. The units he uses for "
69"angular distances are cubits, spear length, man-height, span, and finger. "
70"Al-Sufi explicitly said in his book that a cubit is equal to two degrees and"
71" 20 minutes <sup><a href=\"#footnote-2\">[2]</a></sup>. For the other units,"
72" Schjellerup concluded some values, but tracking the 700 measurements, I "
73"came up with different values. The following table summarizes the units and "

9534"<i>Mathematike Syntaxis</i>, in Ancient Greek.  The name <i>Almagest</i>, "
9535"meaning &ldquo;The Largest [Book]&rdquo;, was developed from Arabian "
9536"translations. To create this sky culture we used the English translation by "
9537"Toomer (1984), reworked it in some details (e.g. using more literal "
9538"translations from Greek instead of Latin terms that are common today) and we"
9539" made use of computer readable tables prepared by Ernie Wright."

9545"The Almagest consists of 13 sections, called books. In the seventh and "
9546"eighth book, Ptolemy listed a total of 1022 stars in 48 constellations "
9547"(among which are about 5 star-like objects like globular star clusters).  It"
9548" is a table of coordinates of the stars with a description of their position"
9549" in the constellation (such as \"star at the elbow of X, longitude, "
9550"latitude, magnitude\"). With regard to precession, Ptolemy used ecliptic "
9551"coordinates. As one of the first of his time, Ptolemy included the "
9552"magnitude, a quantitative scale of stellar brightness, probably adopted from"
9553" Hipparchus (which is not certain because Hipparchus&rsquo; catalog is not "
9554"preserved). The scale starts with the brightest star with the magnitude of "
9555"1, going down to magnitude of 6, for the faintest stars visible."

9574"For the computation of planet positions Ptolemy used a geocentric model "
9575"(which is allowed because the observer always stands on Earth) and, thus, "
9576"contributed to the scientific belief that the heliocentric model by "
9577"Aristarch was not needed. However, for the star catalogue of the "
9578"<i>Almagest</i> this does not matter at all because a star catalogue always "
9579"represents a sort of inventory of the fixed dots in the sky and Ptolemy's "
9580"proclaimed aim of the catalogue is to provide a list for making a celestial "
9581"globe (see Alm., VIII, 3). Being aware of precession he wants to ease the "
9582"business of future globemakers by using ecliptical coordinates: Precession "
9583"as known to Ptolemy shifts all stars parallel to the ecliptic, therefore "
9584"updates to the epoch of the respective globemaker could be applied by a "
9585"simple subtraction of the value for ecliptic longitude."
