Abstract
Introducción. La tesis El Comentario de Juan Pediásimo a los Cuerpos celestes de Cleomedes tiene como objetivo presentar la primera edición crítica, traducción y comentario de los escolios que dedicó el profesor y erudito constantinopolitano Juan Pecliásimo a finales del s. XIII o comienzos del XIV a la obra Caelestia del filósofo estoico Cleomedes (s. III el. C.). El comentario que editamos es un breve texto ele naturaleza filosófica, astronómica y matemática, que trata ele explicar algunas cuestiones de astronomía matemática elemental tomando como referencia la obra del filósofo alejandrino Cleomecles. La presente edición y traducción del Comentario de Juan Pecliásimo a los Cuerpos celestes de Cleomedes constituye un nuevo testimonio para conocer mejor no sólo la labor ele un erudito bizantino ele época paleóloga, sino también la recepción y tratamiento, por parte ele un profesor bizantino, ele una obra ele carácter cosmológico y astronómico en la Bizancio del primer Renacimiento paleólogo. Además, el estudio ele la obra nos permite profundizar en el entorno cultural en que se comentaron, copiaron e incluso editaron numerosas obras griegas antiguas que, más tarde, con el ocaso del Imperio bizantino, penetrarían y se difundirían en Europa, impulsadas por el auge culhual y el interés por el griego que supuso el Renacimiento. De todos estos aspectos daremos buena cuenta en los capítulos que componen nuestra tesis doctoral...
Introduction. The thesis John Pediasimus' Commentary on Cleomedes' Caelestia has the objective of presenting the first critical edition, translation and commentary of the scholia devoted by the Byzantine professor and scholar, John Pediasimus, towards the end of the thirteenth century or begirming of the fourteenth century, to the Caelestia by Cleomedes (third century AD.). This commentary is a brief text of philosophical, astronomical, and mathematical nature, which aims to explain some elementary astronomical-mathematical questions using the work of the Stoic philosopher and teacher Cleomedes. The present edition and translation of John Pediasimus' Commentary on Clemedes' Caelestia constitutes a new testimony giving a better insight into the work of a Byzantine scholar from the Palaeologan period, and the reception and treatment by a Byzantine professor of cosmological and astronomical work in Byzantium during the early Palaeologan Renaissance. Furthermore, the study of the work allows to delve deeper into the cultural environment where they commented upon, copied and even edited numerous ancient Greek works which later, with the decline of the Byzantine Empire, would spread throughout Europe, propelled by the cultural growth and interest in Greek brought about by the Renaissance. All these aspects will be well accounted for in the chapters shaping this doctoral thesis...
