Constellations in the Middle Ages and the RenaissancePicturing the stars between science and imagination Vo. II 1200-1500

手头的第二卷是一个关于星座图片史的研究项目的最终结果，该项目首次研究了从公元800年到1500年的所有现存的图文并茂的天文和占星学手稿。这些结果现在为理解图像的用途、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。关于时间从800到1200的第一卷已经在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，对所有历史学科都将具有重要意义。在科学中，天文学和占星学必须以特殊的方式利用图像来解释它们的对象和理论。因此，星座图片的历史是理解图片和知识、传统和想象的机制的理想范例。星座位于1200到1500年之间，对三个领域的知识都很重要。这些是天文学、天文学和神话。天文学的工作是为了更好地观察星星，更好地了解单星的确切位置，并最终绘制出天空的地图。占星术开始于12世纪，直到13世纪才在日常生活中产生了一定的影响。ID涉及对恒星运动的解释。由于她的实用成分，人们对这个领域的兴趣越来越大，占星学理论在各种普及中传播开来。自14世纪以来，诗歌和神话一直是一个特别值得关注的领域，其中古代神话与宇宙现实之间的对应关系具有重要意义。通常，同样的人在天文学、占星术和神话领域工作。这些知识领域之间的具体互动只有在整个传统的完整概要中才变得明显，这是在本研究项目期间首次完成的。

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.
