The Book of Eclipses



by Cyprian Leowitz is online at the The Digital Library Department of the Bavarian State Library. (ostensibly: 'Accurate coloured depictions of solar and lunar eclipses covering the years 1554 to 1600 with Vienna, Austria as the point of reference')

Images and text from the fascinating site BibliOdyssey.* The top figure depicts the difference between a solar and lunar eclipse; the bottom one shows the effect of a partial eclipse upon a landscape. More pix at the link.
