Tonight’s #Halloween special was a highly atmospheric visit of Merton College’s 14th c. library, guided by @juliawalworth.bsky.social. Talk about gothic…

Medieval facade with gothic windows letting out light as the sky darkens

Central aisle of the library showing stacks of books on either side and the 16th century woodwork ceiling. A stained glass window at the end of the aisle and medieval tiles, red with some traces of patterns remaining

Book stack labelled Libri Theologiae, with rows of really old looking books

Delighted we could help! The manuscript comprises eight tables, which bring together the fundamental tools for computing conjunctions (a term encompassing planetary conjunctions and lunar and solar eclipses), one of the most complex phenomena to compute in the Middle Ages.
