Richard H. Allen surveys the names, stories, and historical associations attached to constellations and notable celestial objects. Drawing from Greek, Roman, Arabic, biblical, and other traditions, Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning explores how observers organized the sky and connected it with myth, poetry, navigation, religion, and early astronomy. This substantial Dover reference preserves a nineteenth-century scholarly compilation that remains useful for readers studying the cultural history of celestial naming.
