About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1848. Excerpt: ... THE GBEAT COMET, &c, &c. CHAPTER I. General Description Of The Comet Of 1264. Nearly all historians who have written on events of the thirteenth century mention the great and splendid comet of 1264, and many among them were eye-witnesses of the facts they relate. The first appearance of this comet is dated, as might be expected, at various times by different authors. Friar Giles, of whom I shall have occasion to speak more fully hereafter, says it was discovered in France on the 14th of July. It was certainly observed in that country on the 17th of the same month, as we learn from a poem by Thierri on the life of Pope Urban IV.: it was then observed in the evening, after sunset. The chronicle of John Vitoduranus the Chronicon S. JEgidii Brunswicensis, and the Chronicon S. Petri, vulgb Sampetrinum Erphurtense in Menkenius' collection of Saxon writers, say the comet was perceived on the morning of July 22nd. Another authority dates the appearance on July 25th, before sunrise. On the 26th of July the comet was detected in China, according to the annals of the dynasties Ming and Youen, then reigning in the north and south of that country. The poem of Thierri, already mentioned, is published in the historical work entitled " Rerum Italicarum Scriptores, fyc, collecti a Ludovico Muratorio," Milan, 1723, and elsewhere. Thierri thus describes the appearance of the comet--"Post hsec dicenda sunt stellae signa comatae Quae mortem tanti nos docuere viri, Ejus enim morbum monstravit visio, mortem Defectus, sicut tempora certa probant. Bis sexcentenum Domini, decies quoque senum Annum, cum quarto, si bene mente notes; Mane quidem, luce Domini, sextoque calendas Augusti, nobis visio facta fuit. Undecimumque gradum Phcebo superante Leonis, Ter deno Cancri restitit ilia ...
