نمودارهای سیاره‌ای برای نجوم رومی در اروپا در قرون وسطی، حدود 800-1500 (معاملات جامعه فلسفی آمریکا)

This book is a descriptive and critical catalogue of astronomical diagrams in medieval manuscripts. Its subject is specifically the diagrams appended to those Roman works on astronomy which could be found in medieval libraries, and its challenge is to identify and interpret both the textual and the visual elements correctly. For over 20 years, Eastwood had been studying Medieval texts and manuscripts of the Roman authors Pliny the Elder, Macrobius, Martianus, and Calcidius, and especially the astronomical diagrams each contained or stimulated. He and Grasshoff began collaborating in 1997 on analyzing the diagrams and using them to reveal how the editors of the manuscripts understood the texts at various times and places even as late as the 15th century.
