Comata est signum naturale pestilentiae. O komecie w średniowiecznych łacińskich tekstach polskich autorów
The article presents and characterizes the Latin vocabulary relating to the comet, used by the Polish writ-ers of the Middle Ages. Texts with descriptions or mentions of comets can be divided into two groups. The first includes astronomical and astrological works, the second chronicles and annals. Ambiguous and syn-onymous terminology reflects the writers’ level of knowledge, quality of sources, and personal interests. It should be emphasized that comets were rarely described objectively: they were often assigned supernatural meanings, and their names were the result of a specific perspective and interpretation.
期刊介绍：
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica is an international quarterly journal publishing papers of general interest from all areas of paleontology. Since its founding by Roman Kozłowski in 1956, various currents of modern paleontology have been represented in the contents of the journal, especially those rooted in biologically oriented paleontology, an area he helped establish.
In-depth studies of all kinds of fossils, of the mode of life of ancient organisms and structure of their skeletons are welcome, as those offering stratigraphically ordered evidence of evolution. Work on vertebrates and applications of fossil evidence to developmental studies, both ontogeny and astogeny of clonal organisms, have a long tradition in our journal. Evolution of the biosphere and its ecosystems, as inferred from geochemical evidence, has also been the focus of studies published in the journal.
