| Abstract
| - Observations of the supernova of 1181 were recorded independently at different locations in North and South China and Japan. These descriptions fix the position of the star, coincident with the radio source 3C 58, and indicate that it was visible for up to 186 days, although they do not give any detailed information useful for constructing its light curve. We discuss in detail a new historical record of the supernova, and recent observations of 3C 58 that reinforce its identification as the remnant of this supernova.
