Popis: The eclipse of a.d. 1239 June 3 was observed at no less than 10 sites in Europe, but the one from a.d. 1354 September 17 was observed only from two European sites. In this paper, we present several new references for the a.d. 1239 and a.d. 1354 solar eclipses, most of them from unpublished Spanish documents. In particular, we study three records engraved on stones whose existence was not known until recently. Such records are very rare in the rest of Europe. The study of ancient eclipses has proven to be useful for obtaining some astronomical data of interest to modern astronomy. In particular, the analysis of these eclipses may be useful for determining a range of T for the epochs.
