dc.description.abstract | A unique source on the practical aspects of the scientia astrorum (astronomy
and astrology) in medieval Europe has come down to us in the shape of a
letter written shortly after 1246 by John of London, an astronomer based
in Paris. John used the letter to answer eight questions on technical problems posed to him by his addressee, a certain R . de Guedingue, with subject
matters ranging from the rate of precession to the dates o f t he so-called Dog
Days. The article makes this source available via a critical edition (based
upon three manuscripts) and an accompanying English translation. An introduction discusses the background and transmission of John’s letter as
well as the identities of the letter writer and addressee. The edition and
translation are followed by commentaries elucidating the background to
each of the eight questions and John’s answers to them. | en |
