论文摘要

本文简要地总结了霍夫曼(Hoffmann)的一些结果:hipparchs hipparchs himmelsglobus,springer,2017年,必须用德语书写。 Hipparchus的地球没有保留。因此,在过去的几个世纪中,它一直是人们进行了很多猜测和科学询问的根源。与其他当代巴比伦和希腊天文学数据相比,这项研究对Hipparchus的评论中给出的数据进行了新的分析,以及他们在第一千年中的前辈及其继任者及其继任者及其托勒密的继任者。所有这些研究的结果如下:i)尽管托勒密和河马的数据无疑是相关的,但指责托勒密只是在没有正确引用的情况下复制和改造了托勒密肯定也是错误的。 ii)尽管Hipparchus大概是用自己的乐器观察了他的大部分明星目录,但我们不能忽略巴比伦的影响。希帕奇斯(Hipparchus)接受了希腊天文学教育,但在他这个时代,至少有两个世纪以来,就有一些巴比伦的影响。由于我们无法证明Hipparchus使用了Babylonian数据,因此我们不确定他的时代是否有直接的巴比伦影响,或者只是由于他的教育而产生的。最后,我们提出了一个虚拟的3D图像,展示了Hipparchus的地球可能是什么样的。

This paper summarises briefly and in English some of the results of the book Hoffmann: Hipparchs Himmelsglobus, Springer, 2017 that had to be written in German. The globe of Hipparchus is not preserved. For that reason, it has been a source of much speculation and scientific inquiry during the last few centuries. This study presents a new analysis of the data given in the commentary on Aratus' poem by Hipparchus, in comparison with other contemporary Babylonian and Greek astronomical data, as well as their predecessors in the first millennium and their successors up to Ptolemy. The result of all these studies are the following: i) although the data of Ptolemy and Hipparchus are undoubtedly correlated, it is certainly also wrong to accuse Ptolemy having simply copied and transformed it without correct citation; ii) although Hipparchus presumably observed most of his star catalogue with his own instruments, we cannot neglect Babylonian influences. Hipparchus was educated in Greek astronomy but, in his time, there are traces of Babylonian influences since at least two centuries. Since we are unable to definitely prove that Hipparchus used Babylonian data, we are not sure if there are direct Babylonian influences in his time or as a consequence of his education only. Finally, we present a virtual 3D-image showing what the globe of Hipparchus might have looked like.
