520    This book explores facets of Otto Neugebauer's career, his
       impact on the history and practice of mathematics, and the
       ways in which his legacy has been preserved or transformed
       in recent decades, looking ahead to the directions in 
       which the study of the history of science will head in the
       twenty-first century. Neugebauer, more than any other 
       scholar of recent times, shaped the way we perceive 
       premodern science. Through his scholarship and influence 
       on students and collaborators, he inculcated both an 
       approach to historical research on ancient and medieval 
       mathematics and astronomy through precise mathematical and
       philological study of texts, and a vision of these 
       sciences as systems of knowledge and method that spread 
       outward from the ancient Near Eastern civilizations, 
       crossing cultural boundaries and circulating over a 
       tremendous geographical expanse of the Old World from the 
       Atlantic to India.
