Livesey, Steven John - Rouse, Richard H., "Nimrod the Astronomer", Traditio, 37 (1981), 203-266.

Resum

The editors' lengthy (50 pp) introduction discusses the textual history of the Liber Nimrod. They note that, despite previous scholarly consensus which held that the Liber was a translation of a lost Syriac work, it was possibly composed in the West, and they adduce textual sources to support this theory from Augustine's City of God and other works. The editors also discuss the Liber's influence upon later works, such as Li Cumpoz (a computistical work) by Philippe de Thaon written in 1113 in Old French. They also provide an overview fo the manuscripts in which the text survives. Font
