520    This collection of essays reflects the wide range of David
       Pingree's expertise in the scientific texts (above all, 
       concerning astronomy and astrology) of Ancient Mesopotamia,
       Greece, India, Persia, and the medieval Arabic, Hebrew and
       Latin traditions. Both theoretical aspects and the 
       practical applications of the exact sciences-in time 
       keeping, prediction of the future, and the operation of 
       magic-are dealt with. The book includes several critical 
       editions and translations of hitherto unknown or 
       understudied texts, and a particular emphasis is on the 
       diffusion of scientific learning from one culture to 
       another, and through time. Above all, the essays show the 
       variety and sophistication of the exact sciences in non-
       Western societies in pre-modern times.
