Abstract

The last two decades have seen a growing interest in the astronomy and calendars of Antiquity and Medieval Europe.1 This interest has now resulted in a new series––Time, Astronomy, and Calendars: Texts and Studies––by the Dutch publisher Brill. The series is edited by Charles Burnett and Sacha Stern, and its two first volumes were published in 2012. The first volume was C. Philipp E. Nothaft’s Dating the Passion: The Life of Jesus and the Emergence of Scientific Chronology (200-1600), whose review follows, and the second volume, under review here, is A Survey of European Astronomical Tables in the Late Middle Ages, by José Chabás from University Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, and Bernard R. Goldstein from the University of Pittsburgh. The book contains an introduction, nineteen chapters, a list of manuscripts, a bibliography and an index with place names, personal names, sources and key words combined. The main text in the chapters is supplemented by 26 figures and 157 tables.The purpose of Chabás’s and Goldstein’s survey is to present and make available for future research medieval tables containing astronomical data.
