论文摘要
本文探讨了中国，穆斯林和耶稣会天文学家对1629年6月21日在北京的日食的预测，据称这一事件决定了宗宗皇帝使用西方方法改革日历的决议。为了确定这些预测的准确性，如中国学者报道并转换Xu Guangqi时，我们将它们与NASA上的Eclipse的准确重建进行了比较。与当前的观点相反，我们认为耶稣会士的预测确实是最准确的。实际上，这有助于消除宗宁对在中国法院任职的耶稣会传教士的疑问，以改革日历，从而导致欧洲与中国之间的首次重要科学合作。
This paper examines the predictions made by Chinese, Muslim and Jesuit astronomers of the eclipse of 21 June 1629 in Beijing, allegedly the event that determined Emperor Chongzhen's resolution to reform the calendar using the Western method. In order to establish the accuracy of these predictions, as reported at the time by the Chinese scholar and convert Xu Guangqi, we have compared them with an accurate reconstruction of the eclipse made at NASA. In contrast with current opinions, we argue that the prediction made by the Jesuits was indeed the most accurate. It was in fact instrumental in dissipating Chongzhen's doubts about the need to entrust Jesuit missionaries serving at the Chinese court with the task of reforming the calendar, leading to the first important scientific collaboration between Europe and China.
