Description

This Routledge Revivals edition explores the history of planetary astronomy in medieval Europe before the 12th century introduction of Greco-Arabic mathematical methods. Drawing on glosses, commentaries, and diagrams from early manuscripts of classical Latin authors including Pliny, Macrobius, Martianus Capella, and Calcidius, this scholarly work examines what knowledge existed of the five planets in the medieval West. The book investigates developments in computus-the calculation of solar and lunar cycles for Christian calendars-and monastic star-based timekeeping practices. Originally published in 2002, this academic text provides evidence for the extensive development of astronomical thought during the Carolingian and post-Carolingian periods, offering historians of science a comprehensive analysis of how medieval scholars engaged with planetary observation and classical astronomical knowledge.
