Euler E087: Astronomical tables of the Sun and Moon | English translation with numerical facsimiles | OMH v1.0
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: English translation of Leonhard Euler’s Tabulae astronomicae solis et lunae (E087), in L. Euleri Opuscula varii argumenti, volume 1 (Berlin: Ambrosius Haude and Johann Carl Spener, 1746), pp. 137–168. This complete 60-page edition translates all four introductory source pages and pairs each of the twenty-eight numerical table facsimiles with an English key to its headings, arguments, labels, instructions, and notes. Numerical cells are preserved as authentic images, not retypeset. The recovered PDF was assembled losslessly from the preserved transport parts and checked against the unchanged TeX rebuild; its container bytes differ from the missing earlier full PDF. AI use and review status: OpenAI tools assisted with the translation and LaTeX. Version 1.0 is a machine draft with limited scholarly human inspection. Version 2.0 is reserved for a fully reviewed edition. Recovery and independent preservation checks do not constitute fresh astronomical recomputation or full human scholarly review.
