Notes
A short chapter divided into three parts on making judgments based on lunar eclipses. The final word of the title eclipse ('solar eclipse') is almost certainly an error for eclipse ('lunar eclipse').
This text is numbered 14 (hand) in the present collection.
Contents:
Section discussing of its colors in the middle of the time of the lunar eclipse (ff. 150v-151r);
Its [i.e., the Moon's] applications to the planets after it leaves the lunar eclipse (ff. 151r-152r);
Its [i.e., the Moon's] indications in the signs.
Beginnings (f. 150, lines 9-12):
If it is very black, it indicates a lot of injustice
Stormy winds, terrors in the air, land sickness, and death
In livestock (!) and the occurrence of severe hunger and fears
Extreme terror and distress...
Ends (f. 153v, lines 11-13)
...and the connotations of a lunar eclipse in...
The twelve houses as meanings
Solar eclipse at that
