The Classical World: ON THE GREEK ORIGIN OF THE INDIAN PLANETARY MODEL EMPLOYING A DOUBLE EPICYCLE.
The article discusses the Greek origin of the Indian geometric model of planetary motion involving two epicycles. Topics discussed include the interpretation of the fifth century Sanskrit text "Paitâmahasiddhânta of the Visnudharmottarapurâna," the notion that the planetary orbits are concentric wit...
