f68r: eclipse from 1419?

[NosDa]

If the solar eclipse of 1419 had been observed in Europe (or beyond), it would certainly have been mentioned in Schedel’s World Chronicle in the chapter on the Sixth World Age. As is mostly the case, it could have been linked to a historical event (the death of the  King Wenceslaus IV).

There are interpretive principles we use to assess what that effect of an eclipse will be, and the ones associated with leaders are the ones usually written about widely. People were still interested in their own lives and communities, as we are today, and would use astrology to that end. 

I don't know if this folio is that particular eclipse from 1419, but I also don't see any way to rule it out based on a lack of reflection in contemporary material.
