Abstract
THE communication by Prof. W. A. Osborne1 has the effect of opening up the question whether the eclipse of the sun mentioned by Anna Comnena may be included in “historical eclipses”. It is interesting to be able to state that her record seems to be quite sound. There was a total eclipse visible at Constantinople on February 16, 1086.
