f68r: eclipse from 1419?

[Bernd]

This was an annular eclipse, not a total one. In Rome, about 1/3 of the sun's area would have been covered. That's not a lot. No planets visible in the sky, let alone stars.
Even at the path of 'totality' in the Arab world and the max obscuration of 88% in Egypt, you probably would not have been able to see any other celestial bodies. Venus and Jupiter were too close to the sun. Definitely not the pleiades, no chance.

Also a search turned up no mention of this eclipse, neither in European nor Arab sources.
