Learning How to Use the Astrolabe While Finding Chaucer's Meaning
- Published
- Al-Masaq 13 : 1-13, 2001.
- Description
- Osborn repunctuates the "astrolabic" passages in SqT and MLP (both set in the East) and considers the operation of an astrolabe to resolve apparent problems of time and date. The steed of brass and its association with the star Alpherez in SqT dramatize in a recondite way the operation of an astrolabe.
