这个手稿页是偶然发现的，它提供了中世纪天文学的图形洞察力，在文艺复兴和尼古拉斯·哥白尼、第谷·布拉赫、约翰内斯·开普勒和伽利略的影响之前。这有趣的一页来自1490年前由修道士沃尔夫冈·德·施蒂里亚编撰的天文学课堂笔记。顶部的面板清楚地说明了在以地球为中心的托勒密体系中月球（左）和日食的必要几何形状。左下角是托勒密的太阳系观图，右上方是根据托勒密的地心说模型解释行星运动的文字。右下角是一个图表，用来计算儒略历中复活节星期日的日期。在奥地利历史悠久的梅尔克修道院发现了带有插图的手稿页。

Discovered by accident, this manuscript page provides graphical insight to astronomy in medieval times, before the Renaissance and the influence of Nicolaus Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, and Galileo. The intriguing page is from lecture notes on astronomy compiled by the monk Magister Wolfgang de Styria before the year 1490. The top panels clearly illustrate the necessary geometry for a lunar (left) and solar eclipse in the Earth-centered Ptolemaic system. At lower left is a diagram of the Ptolemaic view of the Solar System with text at the upper right to explain the movement of the planets according to Ptolemy's geocentric model. At the lower right is a chart to calculate the date of Easter Sunday in the Julian calendar. The illustrated manuscript page was found at historic Melk Abbey in Austria.
