论文摘要
“ El Cielo de Salamanca”(“ Salamanca的天空”)是直径8.70米的四分之一球形的库。它是在1480年至1493年之间的某个时候绘制的,显示了五个十二生座星座,三个北方和六个澳大利亚。太阳和汞也代表。它形成了三倍大保险库的一部分,描绘了当时已知的48个托勒密星座和其余的行星。这是一部出色的艺术作品,覆盖了萨拉曼卡大学第一张图书馆的天花板,萨拉曼卡大学是欧洲最古老的图书馆之一,这是1218年获得其皇家宪章的最古老的图书馆。但这也是一项开创性的科学作品:一种用于教授天文学的天文馆,这是天文学中的第一个天文学历史上,我们在保留的部分中呼吁我们现在呼吁“天空”。我们描述了围绕占星术主席的科学背景,该占地于1460年左右在萨拉曼卡大学(University of Salamanca)建立,这导致了这项独特的艺术科学工作以及萨拉曼卡(Salamanca)的天文学繁荣。我们分析了与之兼容的可能日期,表明它们非常罕见。在1100年的1200年到2300年中,我们只有23年的时间有可行的日子。我们得出的结论是,“ El Cielo de Salamanca”中包含的信息不足以将其分配到特定的日期,而是几天的间隔,在1475年8月,间接证据似乎是在141年的第222222222222岁时才能观察到2060年的2060年。
"El Cielo de Salamanca" ("The Sky of Salamanca") is a quarter-sphere-shaped vault 8.70 metres in diameter. It was painted sometime between 1480 and 1493 and shows five zodiacal constellations, three boreal and six austral. The Sun and Mercury are also represented. It formed part of a three times larger vault depicting the 48 Ptolemaic constellations and the rest of the planets known at the time. This was a splendid work of art that covered the ceiling of the first library of the University of Salamanca, one of the oldest in Europe having obtained its royal charter in 1218. But it was also a pioneering scientific work: a planetarium used to teach astronomy, the first of its kind in the history of Astronomy that has come down to us in the preserved part that we now call "The Sky of Salamanca". We describe the scientific context surrounding the chair of Astrology founded around 1460 at the University of Salamanca, which led to the production of this unique scientific work of art and to the flourishing of Astronomy in Salamanca. We analyse the possible dates compatible with it, showing that they are extremely infrequent. In the period of 1100 years from 1200 to 2300 that we studied there are only 23 years that have feasible days. We conclude that the information contained in "El Cielo de Salamanca" is not sufficient to assign it to a specific date but rather to an interval of several days that circumstantial evidence seems to place in August 1475. The same configuration of the sky will be observable, for the first time in 141 years, from the 22nd to the 25th of August 2022. The next occasion to observe it live will be in 2060.
