The second volume on hand is the final result of a research-project on the history of the pictures of constellations, which for the first time studies all existing illustrated astronomical and astrological manuscripts from 800 to 1500. The results present now a new basis for understanding the uses of images, the transformation of antiquity and the astronomical sciences in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The first volume concerning the time from 800 to 1200 was already published in 2012. The publication of the second volume will again master a great variety of sources and pictures and will therefore have the character of a handbook and will be of great importance for all historical disciplines.Among the sciences Astronomy and Astrology have to work in a special way with images to explain their objects and their theories. The history of the pictures of the constellations is therefore an ideal example to understand the mechanism of picturing and knowing, of tradition and imagination. The constellations are in the time between 1200 and 1500 important for three areas of knowledge. These are Astronomy, Astrology and Mythology.The Astronomy works for a better observation of the stars and a better understanding of the exact position of the single stars and ends up with an cartography of the sky. Astrology starts in the 12th century and only in the 13th century have also some influence in the daily life. Id deals with the interpretation of the movements of the stars. Because of her practical components there is a growing Interest in this field and the astrological theories disseminate in a great variety of popularizations. Since the 14th century are Poetry and Mythology a special area of interest, where the correspondences between the ancient myths and the cosmic reality have a great importance. Often the same persons work in the field of astronomy or astrology as well as mythology. The specific interactions between these areas of knowledge becomes evident only in the complete synopsis of the whole tradition, which is done for the first time during this research project.

现有的第二卷是星座图历史研究项目的最终成果，该项目首次研究了 800 年至 1500 年所有现有的插图天文学和占星手稿。这些结果为理解星座图提供了新的基础。图像的使用、古代的转变以及中世纪和文艺复兴时期的天文学。第一卷涉及800年至1200年的时间，已于2012年出版。第二卷的出版将再次掌握大量的资料和图片，因此具有手册的性质，对所有历史研究都具有重要意义。在科学中，天文学和占星学必须以特殊的方式利用图像来解释它们的物体和理论。因此，星座图片的历史是理解图像和认知、传统和想象机制的理想例子。 1200 到 1500 之间的星座对于三个知识领域都很重要。这些是天文学、占星学和神话学。天文学致力于更好地观察星星并更好地了解单个星星的确切位置，并最终绘制出天空的地图。占星学始于12世纪，直到13世纪才在日常生活中产生一定的影响。 Id 涉及对星星运动的解释。由于其实用性，人们对这一领域的兴趣与日俱增，占星学理论也以多种形式传播开来。自 14 世纪以来，诗歌和神话一直是人们感兴趣的特殊领域，其中古代神话与宇宙现实之间的对应关系非常重要。通常，同一个人在天文学或占星学以及神话领域工作。这些知识领域之间的具体相互作用只有在整个传统的完整概要中才会变得明显，这是在本研究项目中首次完成的。
