A Survey of European Astronomical Tables in the Late Middle Ages

Abstract: Le livre sous recension porte sur les tables astronomiques produites dans une Europe latine délimitée, en amont, par le X e siècle et, en aval, par les premières décennies de l'imprimerie ; encore faut-il préciser qu'aux documents de l'espèce rédigés en latin, il ajoute ceux qui l'ont été dans d'autres langues pour peu qu'elles aient été pratiquées dans les bornes temporelles et spatiales ainsi posées-langue d'une minorité religieuse (l'hébreu) ou langues vernaculaires méridionales (le provençal, le catalan et… Show more

“…2 In 2012, however, we were finally able to identify the astrological context for this column of numbers without understanding all the details, but we did determine many of its key features and its astrological purpose. 3 We can now add that the entries in the column of numbers for "lunar progress" are unrelated to the Moon, that they make no sense without embedding them in their astrological context, and that they do not belong at all in an astronomical table for planetary velocities. In general, the entries in the relevant astrological tables containing this column for the "daily progress" are unreliable due to many copyists' errors, suggesting that medieval astrologers did not fully understand these tables or the way they are to be used.…”
