Summary edit
| Description |
English: This manuscript, produced in the first half of the 9th century in Fulda, contains two astronomical texts: several excerpts of the Aratus latinus and the Aratea by Germanicus with explanatory scholia, illustrations of the 34 constellations and a (now removed) drawing of the entire night sky. The Aratea, based on the astronomical didactic poem by Aratus of Soli, served as illustrative source for the astronomical background knowledge required for teaching the computus (calculating the date of Easter) at the school of the Fulda Monastery.
Deutsch: Die in der ersten Hälfte des 9. Jahrhunderts in Fulda entstandene Handschrift enthält zwei astronomische Texte: zum einen einige Abschnitte des Aratus latinus und zum anderen die Aratea des Germanicus mit erläuternden Scholien, Illustrationen zu den 34 Sternbildern und einer (heute herausgelösten) Zeichnung des gesamten Sternenhimmels. Die auf das astronomische Lehrgedicht des Aratos von Soloi zurückgehenden Aratea dienten im Komputusunterricht der Fuldaer Klosterschule als anschauliche Quelle für das erforderliche astronomische Grundwissen.
Français : Le manuscrit, rédigé dans la première moitié du IXème siècle à Fulda, contient deux textes astronomiques : le premier se compose d’extraits de l’Aratus latinus et le second de l’Aratea de Germanicus avec des Scholia explicatives, des illustrations des 34 constellations et un dessin (aujourd’hui détaché) de l’ensemble du ciel constellé d’étoiles. L’Aratea, qui se réfère au poème didactique astronomique d’Aratos de Soles, fut utilisé pour l’enseignement du comput (calcul de la date de Pâques) dans l’école du monastère de Fulda, en tant que source essentielle pour les connaissances astronomiques de base.
Italiano: Il manoscritto, redatto nella prima metà del sec. IX a Fulda, contiene due testi a carattere astronomico: il primo è costituito da estratti dell’Aratus latinus e il secondo dalla Aratea di Germanico con degli Scholia esplicativi, illustrazioni delle 34 costellazioni ed un disegno (oggi sciolto) dell’intero cielo stellato. L’Aratea, che si rifà al poema didattico astronomico di Arato di Soloi, veniva utilizzata nell’insegnamento del computo (calcolo della Pasqua) nella scuola del monastero di Fulda quale fonte visiva per le conoscenze astronomiche di base. |
