  • 5 राहु


    rāhú
    m. (fr. rabh;

    cf. graha andﾠ grah) « the Seizer»
    N. of a Daitya orﾠ demon who is supposed to seize the sun andﾠ moon andﾠ thus cause eclipses (he is fabled as a son of Vipra-citti andﾠ Siṇhikā andﾠ as having a dragon's tail;
    when the gods had churned the ocean for the Amṛita orﾠ nectar of immortality, he disguised himself like one of them andﾠ drank a portion;
    but the Sun andﾠ Moon revealed the fraud to Vishṇu, who cut off Rāhu's head, which thereupon became fixed in the stellar sphere, andﾠ having become immortal through drinking the Amṛita, has ever since wreaked its vengeance on the Sun andﾠ Moon by occasionally swallowing them;
    while at the same time the tail of the demon became Ketu <q.v.> andﾠ gave birth to a numerous progeny of comets andﾠ fiery meteors;
    in astron. Rāhu is variously regarded as a dragon's head, as the ascending node of the moon < orﾠ point where the moon intersects the ecliptic in passing northwards>, as one of the planets <cf. graha>, andﾠ as the regent of the south-west quarter < Laghuj. >;
    among Buddhists many demons are called Rāhu) AV. etc. etc.;

  • 16 Dondi, Giovanni

    SUBJECT AREA: Horology
    [br]
    b. 1318 Chioggia, Italy
    d. 22 June 1389 Milan, Italy
    [br]
    Italian physician and astronomer who produced an elaborate astronomical clock.
    [br]
    Giovanni was the son of Jacopo de'Dondi dall'-Orologio, a physician who designed a public clock that was installed in Padua in 1344. The careers of both father and son followed similar paths, for Giovanni became Physician to Emperor Charles IV and designed a complicated astronomical clock (astrarium) for which he became famous. Around 1350 he was appointed Professor of Astronomy at the University of Padua. Dondi completed his astrarium in 1381, having worked on it for sixteen years. Unlike the clock of Richard of Wallingford, it used the common form of verge escapement and had no facility for sounding the hours on a bell. It did, however, indicate time on a 24- hour dial and had calendars for both the fixed and movable feasts of the Church. Its principal function was to show the motions of the planets on the Ptolemaic theory, i.e. the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Like the Wallingford clock, it also indicated the position of the nodes, or points where the orbits of the Sun and Moon intersected, so that eclipses could be predicted. The astrarium was acquired by the Duke of Milan and its history can be traced to c.1530, when it was in disrepair. It is now known only from copies of Dondi's manuscript "Tractus astarii". Several modern reconstructions have been made based upon the details in the various manuscripts.

  • 17 Richard of Wallingford, Abbot

    SUBJECT AREA: Horology
    [br]
    b. 1291/2 Wallingford, England
    d. 23 May 1336 St Albans, Hertfordshire, England
    [br]
    English cleric, mathematician and astronomer who produced the earliest mechanical clock of which there is detailed knowledge.
    [br]
    Richard, the son of a blacksmith, was adopted by the Prior of Wallingford when his father died and educated at Oxford. He then joined the monastery at St Albans and was ordained as a priest in 1317. After a further period at Oxford studying mathematics and astronomy he returned to St Albans as Abbot in 1327. Shortly after he had been elected Abbot he started work on a very elaborate astronomical clock. The escapement and the striking mechanism of this clock were unusual. The former was a variation on the verge escapement, and the hour striking (up to twenty-four) was controlled by a series of pins laid out in a helical pattern on a drum. However, timekeeping was of secondary importance as the main purpose of the clock was to show the motion of the Sun, Moon and planets (the details of the planet mechanism are lost) and to demonstrate eclipses. This was achieved in a very precise manner by a series of ingenious mechanisms, such as the elliptical wheel that was used to derive the variable motion of the sun.
    Richard died of leprosy, which he had contracted during a visit to obtain papal confirmation of his appointment, and the clock was completed after his death. The last recorded reference to it was made by John Leyland, shortly before the dissolution of the monasteries. It is now known only from incomplete manuscript copies of Richard's treatise. A modern reconstruction has been made based upon J.D.North's interpretation of the manuscript.
