Comet theories,16th century
Comet theories. 16th-century artwork from a book about comets. The view looks north (Aquilo is the north wind). The book's text refers to two 'ghost' stars in Cassiopeia (probably the nova of 1572) and a flaming sky (a supposed effect of comets). This woodcut is from 'De cometis dissertationes novae' (1580) by the Swiss physician and theologian Thomas Erastus (1524-1583). This was part of a debate taking place in Europe at the time,prompted by the comet of 1577-8. Erastus argued that comets could not cause pestilence as was popularly believed. Caecius is the north-east wind,and Argestes the north-west wind
