Abstract: MS Bernkastel-Cues 215 contains an unedited set of astronomical tables and
canons in French. Probably written around 1271 these are a new and unique opportunity to
deepen our knowledge of the astronomical terminology in old French. The present study
establishes, from this material, a glossary of 130 terms and proposes a first internal and
contextual analysis of it on the semantical, dialectal and morphological levels.
