Book IV – Astrologia Munda Section IV – Chapter VI on the appearance of comets; since all the learned in the works of nature do unanimously conclude they are the fore-runners of much tribulation, alteration, anxiety, and trouble, which I shall by and by more amply deliver unto you. [Some Comets move, others again are fixed, How to judge their portences] You are to take notice that some comets do move as the planets. And again, others do not stir but are fixed, as are the other stars. To judge of the accidents portended by comets, the place of their appearance in the heavens is to be observed and what stars are in configuration therewith. Also in what similitude they appear, and where they appear and shine. If they appear like swords, wars are threatened and destruction of mankind; like flutes or haut-boys, it portends mischief to musicians; if in the middle of a sign, to whore-masters, and women gamesters; in form of a triangle of quadrangle, i.e. a trine of square aspect to any of the fixed stars, to wits and learned men. If a comet appears in either of the Nodes, or those places which we commonly call the Head and Tail of the Dragon, it proves infectious and pestiferous. [The birth of our Saviour fore-known by the comet in Augustus his time] We come now to show the events of comets or such things, as they are the forerunners of. Yet I cannot but first let my reader know the strange foreknowledge Sybilla Tiburtina had in this science, who from the apparition of that great and famous comet 1 which was seen in Cæsar Augustus his time. 2 238 told the Emperor that it pointed out a child born of a virgin, who should be greater than he and therefore she exhorted him to worship and adore him, etc. 1 William's Comet Catalogue of 1871 identifies two -- one in 5 B.C. and a second in 4 B.C. Both are described in detail in Chapter 7 of David Hughes' book The Star of Bethlehem: An Astronomer's Confirmation. The comet of 5 B.C. (number 52 in Williams's Catalogue) was first seen between March 10 and April 27, and was visible for 70 or more days. It was a «hut» comet, also called a «sweeping star» or «broom star», and had a tail or rays. It was seen in Capricorn and there is no mention of motion. It may have been a nova, but the description best fits a comet. In 4 B.C., a «po», or tailless, comet was noted in April 24 in Aquila. There is no way to know whether it was a comet or nova. Incidentally, older references state that Halley's Comet was seen in 11 B.C., but modern calculations identify it with one seen for 56 days from August to October of 12 B.C. 2 NOTE BY RAMESEY: in whose days and reign was our Saviour Christ born.
Book IV – Astrologia Munda Section IV – Chapter VI [The portences of comets and blazing-stars] Histories, ancient writers and common experience in former ages testifies unto us that these signs in the Heavens, or appearance of comets, are the assured fore-runners of the sterility of the earth, pestilence, famine, war, alterations of kingdoms, states and empires, laws and customs, winds, earthquakes, inundations, extreme heat and drought, grievous diseases and infirmities, and such like horrid evils. 239
