A note on the new evidence for Hipparchus’ star catalogue
We reaffirm our attribution of the Codex Climaci Rescriptus star coordinates to Hipparchus, in response to criticism by G. Grasshoff and S. Hoffmann. New evidence from P. Aberdeen 12 further supports our conclusions, with more insights expected from x-ray fluorescence imaging at SLAC.
