De Indicio Solis in Conviviis Saturni, Einleitung und kritische Edition
Simon de Couvin, Thomas Haye (ed.)
The article deals with Simon of Couvin (ca. 1325-1367) who studied at the university of Paris in the middle of the 14th century. In the year 1350, the author has composed an hitherto nearly unknown poem entitled “De iudicio Solis" in which he tries to explain the causes of the Black Death. The contemporary plague is traced back to a specific astrological constellation wrapped in an allegoric narrative. The paper presents a critical edition of the Latin text and an introduction to the author.
