A medieval reference to the Andromeda Nebula.
Abstract
Nebulous objects among the fixed stars, in the southern as well as in the northern hemisphere, have been observed and registered since antiquity. They are mentioned in both parts of the ancient knowledge of the sky, the theoretical (that is what we nowadays would call "astronomy"), and the applied, or practical (that is what we nowadays call "astrology").
