| Summary: | This study is about <Honcheonui-yongbeop(Instructions for Use of an armillary sphere)>, which constitutes Honcheonui(an armillary sphere) part of "Uigijipseol" (Volume I) together with <Honcheonui-seol> and <Honchoenui-jebeop>-dealt with earlier than this subject. The study's construction on the text of <Honcheonui-yongbeop> is organized into 15 categories, including installation, observations, instructions for use, astronomical theories and formulas, etc. This study provides easy-to-understand illustrations of the figures shown in the original and contains detailed descriptions of the related calculation procedures. In the ``Instructions for Use of Honcheonui" discussed here, the readers are introduced to astronomical computation systems, mainly based on spherical trigonometry and proportional methods. The section also provides systematic and detailed reviews of astronomical theories and calculation procedures, allowing you to assess the level of astronomy knowledge at that time. |
