Written on stone: Engraved European medieval solar eclipses

Abstract

In the context of the European Middle Ages as the period roughly covering from the 5th to the 15th centuries, the astronomical records are rarery found in scientific treatises. At least, not until the 15th century. A few surprinsing examples in which the observations were recorded in a particularly original way on stone are found. In this poster we will shortly review the only four cases in which this occurred in Europe.
