MAPPING THE STARS IN THE MIDDLE AGES

This fifteenth-century astrological treatise explains star movements, calendars, and computations, and it also records personal observations and anecdotes.

Shown here are three constellations:
Lupus (the wolf);
Argo Navis, once a vast constellation representing Jason's ship in Greek mythology that was later subdivided;
and Astronochus, a rare depiction of a female centaur.

The stars that form each pattern are rendered in red.

In the right margin, a former owner penciled a note referring to Astronochus as "an otherwise unknown sign."

On the Course of the Heavens and the Stars, in German
Attributed to Caspar Engelsüss and Michael Scot Germany, Rhineland, second half of the fifteenth century
Purchased by J. Pierpont Morgan, 1910;
MS M.384, fols. 24v-25r
