Description “In this paper we shall consider the rule for computing lunar velocity according to Ptolemy based on his simple lunar model (note that he gives no table of lunar velocity), the table for lunar velocity by al-Battānī computed from Ptolemy's simple lunar model, the two tables for lunar velocity by Levi ben Gerson, and some of the tables for lunar velocity in the Alfonsine corpus (composed in the fourteenth century), as well as the rule stated by Regiomontanus.”
