Existing research dealing with astronomical observations from medieval Europe have
extensively covered topics such as solar and lunar eclipses and sightings of comets and meteors, but no
compilation of occultations of planets by the Moon has been carried out, being the data scattered in
different publications. The main cause for this is the small number of observations that have reached us,
their limited use for calculation of parameters associated with the rotation of the Earth and the fact that
between the fifth and fifteenth centuries, the period that we consider, almost none of these observations
was made scientifically, since they usually appear in narrative texts, be they chronicles or annals.
Our purpose is to make a compilation of these phenomena, trying to shed light on some of the most
controversial observations after examining them in their historical context. We will examine European
sources but, occasionally, we will also consider reports from other parts of the world to make
comparisons, when necessary. [-]
