About the Book

English summary: This imposing major compendium tackles, through the prism of vocabulary, all of the fundamental problems (definitions, terminology of sidus, stella etc.). There was no Roman work on astronomy per se, and there is no basis in claiming that the only known astronomer in Rome (C. Sulpicius Galus, c. 170 BC) was a scientist. The Romans were indebted to Greek science for both theory and practical inventions (quadrants, clocks, etc.).It is more accurate to speak of a "literary" (Hyginus, certain passages by Virgil, commentaries on Aratus' Phaenomena by Germanicus Caesar) and "philosophical" (Lucretius, Martianus Capella) astronomy. The enthusiasm of the elites and the Roman people for this discipline never dimmed throughout history, because astronomy has had many practical applications: establishment of a civil calendar, pinpointing of the rising and setting of stars for farming purposes and for building sundials. French description: Cette somme imposante et importante aborde par le biais du vocabulaire tous les problemes de fonds (probleme de definition, de terminologie de sidus, stella etc.) Il n'existe pas, a proprement parler d'astronomie romaine, et le seul astronome connu a Rome (C. Sulpicius Galus, c. 170 a.C.) ne peut pretendre a etre un scientifique. Les Romains sont debiteurs de la science grecque tant pour la theorie que dans les inventions pratiques (cadrans, horloges etc.) . Il est plus juste de parler d'une astronomie litteraire (Hygin, certains passages de Virgile, commentaires des Phenomenes d'Aratos par Germanicus) et philosophique (Lucrece, Martianus Capella). L'engouement des elites et du peuple romain pour cette discipline ne se dementira pas tout au long de l'histoire, car les applications pratiques de l'astronomie sont nombreuses: etablissement d'un calendrier civil, reperage des levers et couchers stellaires pour l'agriculture, constructions de cadrans solaires.
