The second volume on hand is the final result of a research-project on the history of the pictures of constellations, which for the first time studies all existing illustrated astronomical and astrological manuscripts from 800 to 1500. The results present now a new basis for understanding the uses of images, the transformation of antiquity and the astronomical sciences in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The first volume concerning the time from 800 to 1200 was already published in 2012. The publication of the second volume will again master a great variety of sources and pictures and will therefore have the character of a handbook and will be of great importance for all historical disciplines.Among the sciences Astronomy and Astrology have to work in a special way with images to explain their objects and their theories. The history of the pictures of the constellations is therefore an ideal example to understand the mechanism of picturing and knowing, of tradition and imagination. The constellations are in the time between 1200 and 1500 important for three areas of knowledge. These are Astronomy, Astrology and Mythology.The Astronomy works for a better observation of the stars and a better understanding of the exact position of the single stars and ends up with an cartography of the sky. Astrology starts in the 12th century and only in the 13th century have also some influence in the daily life. Id deals with the interpretation of the movements of the stars. Because of her practical components there is a growing Interest in this field and the astrological theories disseminate in a great variety of popularizations. Since the 14th century are Poetry and Mythology a special area of interest, where the correspondences between the ancient myths and the cosmic reality have a great importance. Often the same persons work in the field of astronomy or astrology as well as mythology. The specific interactions between these areas of knowledge becomes evident only in the complete synopsis of the whole tradition, which is done for the first time during this research project.

手头的第二卷是星座图片历史研究项目的最终成果，该项目首次研究了从800年到1500年所有现有的插图天文学和占星术手稿。这些结果为理解图像的使用、古代的转变以及中世纪和文艺复兴时期的天文科学提供了新的基础。关于公元800年至公元1200年的第一卷已于2012年出版。第二卷的出版将再次掌握各种各样的资料和图片，因此将具有手册的性质，对所有历史学科都非常重要。在科学中，天文学和占星术必须以一种特殊的方式与图像一起工作，以解释它们的对象和理论。因此，星座图像的历史是理解图像与认知、传统与想象的机制的理想范例。星座在1200到1500年间对三个知识领域很重要。分别是天文学、占星术和神话学。天文学的工作是为了更好地观察恒星，更好地了解单个恒星的确切位置，并最终绘制出天空的地图。占星术始于12世纪，直到13世纪才对日常生活产生了一定的影响。我处理的是对恒星运动的解释。由于占星术的实用性，人们对这一领域的兴趣日益浓厚，占星术理论以各种各样的普及方式传播。自14世纪以来，诗歌和神话是一个特殊的兴趣领域，古代神话和宇宙现实之间的对应关系非常重要。通常是同一个人在天文学或占星术以及神话领域工作。这些知识领域之间的具体相互作用只有在整个传统的完整概要中才会变得明显，这是在本研究项目中首次完成的。
