Let me put it this way: if anyone suspected that there would be an eclipse in April 1419, then computing the exact time of the eclipse up to an hour would be trivial for contemporary astrologists. So, missing it would be impossible at least for some observers in Europe. From which I think follows that astrologists in Europe just couldn't predict this particular eclipse and missed it altogether, or maybe partial eclipses weren't that important?
