A Treatise on the Astrolabe : ウィキペディア英語版 | A Treatise on the Astrolabe
''A Treatise on the Astrolabe'' is a medieval instruction manual on the astrolabe by Geoffrey Chaucer. It is notable for being written in prose, in English and for describing a scientific instrument. ==Significance==
The ''Treatise'' is considered the "oldest work in English written upon an elaborate scientific instrument".〔R T Gunther (author: Early Science in Oxford) quoted by 〕 It is admired for its clarity in explaining difficult concepts—although modern readers lacking an actual astrolabe may find the details of the astrolabe difficult to understand. Robinson believes that it indicates that had Chaucer written more freely composed prose it would have been superior to his translations of Boece and Melibee.
