Contributions of a historiographical bent have been a regular presence in Centaurus. However, from 2007 onwards, when Centaurus became associated with the European Society for the History of Science, a number of papers and thematic special issues that chose to tackle specifically historiographical reflections on sciences in Europe made their appearance. Our long-lasting interest in this problematic, and the urgency of (re)addressing it in a very dynamic disciplinary scenario marked by global studies, and more generally by the necessity of exploring multi-disciplinary connections, provides the springboard for this second virtual issue: It offers a selection of nine papers (published in 2009, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2018, 2019, and 2021), of which five are introductions to special issues or spotlight sections (published in 2009, 2013, 2018, and 2021) covering the 15 years of association between Centaurus and the European Society for the History of Science, from 2007 to 2021.

欧洲科学史学反思：半人马座的观点*

历史学倾向的贡献在半人马座中经常出现。然而，从 2007 年开始，当Centaurus与欧洲科学史学会建立联系后，一些论文和专题特刊出现了，这些论文和专题特刊选择专门解决对欧洲科学的史学反思。我们对这个问题的长期兴趣，以及在以全球研究为标志的非常动态的学科场景中（重新）解决它的紧迫性，以及更普遍地以探索多学科联系的必要性为标志，为第二个虚拟问题提供了跳板：它提供了九篇论文的选择（发表于2009年、2012年、2013年、2014年、2018年、2019年和2021年），其中五篇是对特刊或焦点部分的介绍（发表于2009年、2013年、2018年和2021年）涵盖Centaurus之间 15 年的交往和欧洲科学史学会，从 2007 年到 2021 年。
