Atlantide: differenze tra le versioni

Durante il Medioevo l'argomento fu pressoché ignorato. Un trattato [[lingua ebraica|ebraico]] sull'[[astronomia]] computazionale datato al [[1378]]-[[1379]], apparentemente una [[parafrasi]] di una precedente opera islamica a noi ignota, allude al mito di Atlantide in una discussione concernente la determinazione dei punti zero per il calcolo della [[longitudine]].<ref>{{Cita libro |lingua = en |citazione = "Some say that they [the inhabited regions] begin at the beginning of the western ocean [the Atlantic] and beyond. For in the earliest times [literally: the first days] there was an island in the middle of the ocean. There were scholars there, who isolated themselves in [the pursuit of] philosophy. In their day, that was the [beginning for measuring] the longitude[s] of the inhabited world. Today, it has become [covered by the?] sea, and it is ten degrees into the sea; and they reckon the beginning of longitude from the beginning of the western sea." |autore = Helaine Selin |anno = 2000 |titolo = Astronomy Across Cultures: The History of Non-Western Astronomy |città= Dordrecht|editore = Kluwer |pagina = 574 |isbn = 0-7923-6363-9}}</ref>
