Hipparchus was a Greek astronomer and mathematician who lived between about 190 and 120 B.C. Indirect evidence suggests that he made the first star catalog that used two coordinates to uniquely define a position in the sky, rather than describing constellations' positions relative to each other. Gysembergh is hopeful that more of the Hipparchus catalog could turn up in other parts of the Codex Climaci Rescriptus, or in other texts that haven't been analyzed with multispectral imaging yet. News Fragments of a star catalog from the second century B.C. have turned up in a manuscript that had been erased and written over centuries later. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract: This short note concerns the cavalier attitude that seems to be prevalent now with regard to checking the accuracy of the references that are provided in research publications. Daunting difficulties confront, at times, those trying to check a source, especially when the source is several centuries old and/or in a language that the researcher is not conversant with. Compounding the problem further, at times, are insuperable difficulties with regard to deciding whom or what to accept as proper authority in the attribution of citations, nudging those that are not of sterner stuff to take the easy way out and conform to popular opinion that might be incorrect. In this short note I discuss the difficulties that a researcher might face with regard to proper attribution of ideas. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
