Thomas Haye: Die Astronomie des Hyginus als Objekt hochmittelalterlicher Lehrdichtung

During the middle ages, the astronomical manual ascribed to the Roman mythographer Hyginus, served as a central reference book. The manuscript London, BL, MS Add. 23892, contains a poem in which a thirteenth-century anonymous author attempts to transform Hyginus’ sophisticated prose writing into the popular form of a didactic poem. This paper presents a critical edition of the text, an introduction, and a short commentary.
