The Phaenomena, written by the third century B.C. Greek poet Aratos of Soli, is an astronomical poem providing an expository description of the constellations. The work was so popular during the Roman period that it was translated into Latin many times. Those Latin versions are collectively known as 'Aratea', but their prototype is now lost. Looking at the many illustrated 'Aratea' manuscripts produced from the Carolingian period through to the Renaissance, this research project aims to reconstruct the picture cycles of the constellations in Aratos' Phaenomena and to examine the processes by which these illustrations originating in Greece were transmitted down to later times.In this year we have carried out systematic classification and arrangement of all the visual materials acquired in 2004-05 through libraries in Europe and the U.S. First, the constellatory illustrations were divided into two major groups : 'Aratea' MSS and 'Aratea' variants. The former group can be further classified into several subgroups according to text type (e.g. 'Caesar Germanicus' or 'Cicero') and recension type. As a result of this analysis it has become clear that the text tradition does not necessarily correspond with the pictorial tradition ; in other words, there are some cases in which a picture cycle originally made for a certain recension text has been recycled for another recension text. It has also been shown that while most of the picture cycles in 'Aratea' variants trace back to those in 'Aratea' MSS, they include some illustrations that seem to have been newly made for the corresponding texts.

《现象》是公元前三世纪希腊诗人索拉的阿拉托斯写的，是一首天文诗，对星座进行了说明性的描述。这部作品在罗马时期非常受欢迎，多次被翻译成拉丁语。这些拉丁版本被统称为“Aratea”，但它们的原型现在已经丢失了。通过观察从加洛林时期到文艺复兴时期制作的许多插图《阿拉托斯》手稿，本研究项目旨在重建《阿拉托斯现象》中星座的图像周期，并研究这些源自希腊的插图传播到后世的过程。今年，我们对2004- 2005年通过欧洲和美国的图书馆获得的所有视觉材料进行了系统的分类和整理。首先，星座插图分为两大类：“阿拉泰”MSS和“阿拉泰”变体。前一组可以根据文本类型进一步分为几个子组(例如：“凯撒日耳曼尼克斯”或“西塞罗”)和衰退类型。分析的结果很清楚，文本传统不一定与图像传统相对应；换句话说，在某些情况下，最初为某个版本文本制作的图片循环已被用于另一个版本文本。也有证据表明，虽然《阿拉泰》变体中的大多数图片周期都可以追溯到《阿拉泰》MSS中的那些，但它们包括一些似乎是为相应文本新制作的插图。
