Tables of Toledo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gerard of Cremona (1114–1187) edited for Latin readers the Tables of Toledo (Toledan Tables), the most accurate compilation of astronomical data ever seen in Europe at the time. The Tables were partly the work of Al-Zarqali, known to the West as Arzachel, a mathematician and astronomer who flourished in Cordoba in the eleventh century.
During the mid-thirteenth century, Giovanni Campano drew from these tables data for his Theorica Planetarum.
