    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Considers the medieval folding almanac as a tool to access information, examining British Library, MS Harley 937, the prologue of which uses Astr &quot;to explain its intention to satisfy its uneducated reader,&quot; posing Astr as a &quot;model for its instructional content.&quot; Uses Gilles Deleuze&#039;s &quot;formulation of the fold&quot; to argue that folding almanacs facilitate a &quot;restless, embodied negotiation of the space between readers, writers, and their objects.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Describes in detail an astrolabe--Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum/Zeughaus, Innsbruck, inv. no. 2957, U215--and relates it to other fourteenth-and fifteenth-century English astrolabes labeled &quot;Chaucerian&quot; because their &quot;strapwork&quot; is similar to that depicted in diagrams found in manuscripts of Astr. Offers astrological and calendrical data to associate the device with the Duchy of Lancaster, and provides &quot;circumstantial evidence&quot; that may link it with Henry Bolingbroke and his court, including evidence from Chaucer&#039;s life and works.]]></dcterms:description>
