摘要

这项研究分析了拜占庭叙事资料中四份关于公元四世纪至六世纪之间日全食真实性存疑的记录。由于很难评估它们的可信度，它们没有被用于现代天文学研究。有三种记录起源于四世纪，所有这些记录都存在准确的年代和出处问题。剩下的一项记录涉及6月29日512日的日全食。本研究基于最新的ΔT样条曲线和最近提出的ΔT约束，首次从天文学角度揭示了所有这些记录的可靠性问题。然后，它探索了它们的文献学和历史背景，以了解这些记录是如何以及为什么被写的。

A critical assessment of questionable solar eclipse memories in the Byzantine Empire from the fourth to sixth centuries CE

This study analysed four records of questionable authenticity of total solar eclipses between the fourth and sixth centuries CE in Byzantine narrative sources. As it has been difficult to evaluate their credibility, they have not been utilised in modern astronomical studies. Three records originated in the fourth century, all of which have problems with accurate dating and provenance. The one remaining record concerns the total solar eclipse on 512 June 29. This study first reveals the problems with and questions around the reliability of all these records from astronomical perspectives based on the latest ΔT spline curve and recently proposed ΔT constraints. It then explores their philological and historical contexts to understand how and why these records were written.
