Abstract

The article explores the fragment of a late medieval English folding almanac, analysed by historian Hilary Carey and academic J. P. Gumbert. Topics discussed include the acknowledgment of its textual contents in the 1963 book "A Catalogue of Incipits of Mediaeval Scientific Writings in Latin," the presence of schematic diagrams of the Vein Man and Zodiac Man on the parchment, and the accessibility of the fragment through the medieval manuscript collection of Cambridge University Library.
