    Description in EnglishOn the base of medieval scholia with excerpts from Hyginus’s work on astronomy as well as from his predecessors, Michael Scotus wrote his treatise on constellations at the Sicilian court of the Emperor Frederick II around 1220. The third volume of the tetralogy provides a transcription and Czech translation of an anonymous Latin treatise dependent on the Michael’s text. This tractate is written in manuscript Prague, National Library XXVI A 3 around the year 1405. The edition is accompanied by an extended illustrated study on the iconography of constellations from antiquity to early-modern epoch and by a study on the iconography of planets written by the historian of arts Lenka Panušková.
