Dear all: I'm delighted to announce the publication of my book [image: image.png]
*Learning With Spheres: The **golādhyāya** in Nityānanda’s * *Sarvasiddhāntarāja *in the *Scientific Writings from the Ancient and Medieval World * series published by Routledge ( https://www.routledge.com/Learning-With-Spheres-The-goladhyaya-in-Nityanandas-Sarvasiddhantaraja/Misra/p/book/9781138583573 ). Very briefly, this book offers a critical edition and an English translation (accompanied by critical notes and technical analyses) of the chapter on spheres (*golādhyāya*) from Nityānanda’s *Sarvasiddhāntarāja*, a Sanskrit astronomical text written in seventeenth-century Mughal India. The introductory and technical discussions in this book provide a sense of how Sanskrit astronomical thought thrived in early modern Mughal India; in particular, how terrestrial and celestial phenomena were understood by Sanskrit astronomers using spherical geometry. I hope that this book will be of interest to historians and philosophers of science, in particular those interested in the history of non-Western astral sciences, as well as to historians of astronomy interested in the ways in which Sanskrit and Indo-Persian astronomy interacted in Mughal India.
