• A Descriptive Catalogue of Indian Astronomical Instruments, by S. R. Sarma

  2018-01-24

  What kind of astronomical instruments were used in India before Jai Singh's time? Are any of these extant in museums? Such questions led me to an exploration of museums and private collections in India, Europe and USA for about a quarter century and to the identification of 555+ specimens which are extant or about which photos and other records are available.  A Descriptive Catalogue of Indian Astronomical Instruments is the outcome of this exploration.
