Reflections on Observational Astronomy in the Medieval Islamic Period

'The author is in full control of the vast spectrum of modern biobibliographical studies of Islamic astronomy and has been able to access countless astronomical manuscript sources of works that were previously unpublished or not yet studied... The book under review ... represents just a small part of the brilliant contribution that Mozaffari has already made to the history of astronomy in Islam' - David A. King, Journal of the American Society for Premodern Asia (JASPA).

'...this set of in-depth studies of Islamic observational astronomy offers an accessible entry to some of the most advanced research on Islamic astronomy of the present century, making the collection a highly valuable resource for the field' - Benno van Dalen, Journal for the History of Astronomy 57(1).

'The collection of papers ... is a small sample of Mozaffari's enormous contribution to the research in the field of Eastern Islamic astronomy' - Julio Samsó, Suhayl 22 (2025).
