Abstract

In this study, I look into the writings of Ghulam Husain Jaunpurī (1790-1862), a well-known mathematician and communicator of modern astronomy in Persian in the early 19th century, probably the first Indian traditional astronomer on record to systematically make modern astronomical observations, namely those of a bright comet in 1825 with a sextant, and of Uranus, Ceres and Pallas in 1826 with a telescope.
