- Resum
- The article proposes first the state of art (historiography), then the manuscript tradition and the medieval testimonies on the Liber Nemroth de astronomia, a Latin cosmogonic dialogue divided into eighty chapters, focusing on the notions of measurement and number and on computus. This teaching dialogue between Nemroth, the master, and his disciple Ioanton, does not betray any Christian contribution and refers to apocryphal traditions of the Old Testament; its cosmological doctrines are probably of Syriac origin. Its clumsy Latin suggests an author with poor command of the language and a early medieval style of writing, but it is difficult to determine the date of the writing or of the Latin translation of the text : between the sixth and, at the latest, the beginning of the tenth century. A table of chapters and fifty illustrations of the dialogue, as well as a provisional diagram of the manuscript tradition, are provided. Four complete manuscripts (11th-13th centuries) are described (including one manuscript from Turin unknown until now) and various chapters preserved separately between the 11th and 15th centuries are mentioned. A significant part of the manuscript tradition was marked in the 11th-13th centuries by the Anglo-Norman line (south of England - south of Italy). Iconographic links are suggested with early Latin astronomical manuscripts.
