The Comet of 1528 This comet was so horrible, so frightful, and it produced such great terror in the vulgar, that some died of fear and others fell sick.It appeared to be of excessive length and was of the color of blood. At the summit of it was seen the figure of a bent arm, holding in its hand a great sword, as if about to strike. At the end of the point there where three starts. On both sides of the rays of this comet were seen a great number of axes, knives, blood-colored swords, amon which were a great number of hideous human faces, with beards and bristling hair Ambrose Pare |
