Toledan Tables

11th century · 11th century

The Toledan Tables were astronomical tables compiled in Toledo in the later 11th century by scholars led by al-Zarqali (Arzachel) under the patronage of al-Mamun. Used to predict the positions of the Sun, Moon and planets, they were translated into Latin in the 12th century and widely used in Europe until the Alfonsine Tables replaced them in the late 13th century.
