Item description from seller

Hardback, cxl + 788 pages, Size:155 x 245 mm, Illustrations:13 b/w, 26 tables b/w., Language(s):Latin, German. *new ISBN 9782503612003. Summary Calendar calculations held a significant place in medieval education. They were used to determine movable feasts like Easter and Pentecost for a given year, calculate the day of the week for specific dates, and determine the moon's age, i.e., how many days had passed since the last new moon. Various tools were employed for these tasks, including key numbers for years, months, and festivals, calculation rules with or without the use of fingers, tables, and mnemonic verses. Given the importance of calendar calculations, it is not surprising that numerous contemporary texts comprehensively covered this subject. The current edition includes 15 texts from the period 1103 to 1232, 14 of which have not been printed before. Only the most successful of these texts, written by Johannes de Sacrobosco, was first printed in 1538 and subsequently in many other editions. The rich content of the texts published here is made accessible through several indexes, including an alphabetical subject index. Die Kalenderrechnung hatte im mittelalterlichen Unterricht ihren festen Platz. Mit ihr konnte man f r ein vorgegebenes Jahr die beweglichen Feste wie Ostern und Pfingsten bestimmen, aber auch beispielsweise ausrechnen, welchen Wochentag ein bestimmtes Datum hatte oder wie alt der Mond dann war, d.h. wie viele Tage seit dem letzten Neumond vergangen waren. F r diese Aufgaben wurden verschiedene Hilfsmittel eingesetzt. Es gab Kennzahlen f r Jahre, Monate und Feste, Rechenvorschriften mit oder ohne Zuhilfenahme der Finger, Tabellen und Merkverse. Bei dem hohen Stellenwert, den die Kalenderrechnung hatte, verwundert es nicht, dass zahlreiche zeitgen ssische B cher das Gebiet gesamthaft darstellten. Die vorliegende Edition enth lt 15 Texte aus der Zeit von 1103 bis 1232, von denen 14 bisher nicht gedruckt vorliegen. Lediglich der erfolgreichste dieser Texte, verfasst von Johannes de Sacrobosco, wurde erstmals 1538 und dann in vielen weiteren Auflagen gedruckt. Der reiche Inhalt der hier ver ffentlichten Texte wird durch mehrere Indizes erschlossen, zu denen insbesondere auch ein alphabetisches Sachregister geh rt.
