Existing research dealing with astronomical observations from medieval Europe have extensively covered topics such as solar and lunar eclipses and sightings of comets and meteors, but no compilation of occultations of planets by the Moon has been carried out and, till now, the data have remained scattered in different publications. The main reasons for this are the small number of observations that has reached us, their limited use for calculation of parameters associated with the rotation of the Earth, and the fact that between the fifth and fifteenth centuries, the period that we consider, almost none of these observations were made scientifically, since they usually appear in narrative texts, be they chronicles or annals. Our purpose is to make a compilation of these phenomena, trying to shed light on some of the most controversial observations after examining them in their historical context. We will examine European sources, but, occasionally, we will also consider reports from other parts of the world to make comparisons, when necessary.

欧洲中世纪文献中月球对行星的掩星

现有的中世纪欧洲天文观测研究已经广泛涵盖了诸如日食和月食以及彗星和流星的目击等主题,但尚未对月球掩星的行星进行汇编,直到现在,数据仍然分散在不同的出版物中。造成这种情况的主要原因是到达我们的观测数量很少,它们在计算与地球自转相关的参数方面的用途有限,以及事实上在我们考虑的 5 世纪和 15 世纪之间,几乎没有这些观察中的一部分是科学地进行的,因为它们通常出现在叙事文本中,无论是编年史还是编年史。我们的目的是对这些现象进行汇编,在对它们的历史背景进行研究之后,试图阐明一些最具争议的观察结果。我们将检查欧洲来源,但有时,我们也会考虑来自世界其他地区的报告,以便在必要时进行比较。
