Comet observations,16th century
Comet observations. 16th-century artwork of the positions of four comets in the night sky,with Latin labels for the winds (Notus,south; Zephyrus Favonius,west; Aquilo,north; Eurus Subsolanus,east). One comet is shown with the south-west wind Africus Lips. This woodcut is from 'De cometis dissertationes novae' (1580) by the Swiss physician and theologian Thomas Erastus (1524-1583). This work was part of an extensive debate about comets taking place among scholars in Europe at the time,prompted by the comet of 1577-8. Erastus argued that comets could not cause pestilence as was popularly believed
