Abstract
Codex Plut. 59.35 of the early fourteenth century transmits a letter, which so far has remained unpublished and therefore almost completely escaped scholarly attention. In this letter, addressed to Andronikos Zarides, the mathematician Nikolaos (Artabasdos) Rhabdas predicts a solar and a lunar eclipse, which can be dated to the year 1321. The present article provides the first edition, with German translation, of this text and explores its implications for the biography of its little-known author and addressee as well as their place within the scholarly circles of the early Palaiologan period.
