Bruce Eastwood shows how, using classical Roman texts, scholars in the early medieval West gradually produced models of planetary motion and learned certain data of planetary astronomy. Their diagrams, excerpts, glosses, and commentary provide us with the crucial evidence for the revival of astronomical learning in the Carolingian period.
