Sobre este item
Rare Spanish Astronomical Treatise on the Great Comet of 1680.
The 1680 comet, or Kirch's Comet, discovered by Gottfried Kirch in November 1680, was the first comet to be discovered using a telescope. It remained visible to the naked eye until March 1681, noted for its exceptional brightness, and catalyzed widespread attention across Europe.
Scholars and ecclesiastics attributed significant meaning to its appearance, leading to the publication of various works on the matter. One notable example is the widely-read "Juicio del cometa de 1680" by mathematician Fulgencio Vergel, which saw four editions. Additionally, the present anonymous work titled "Trompeta celeste contra el Turco" addressed the comet's symbolism and its potential ties to the ongoing Turkish conflicts in Europe at the time.
"Trompeta celeste contra el Turco" attributed to the fictional Gran Piscatore de Sarraval, a renowned character in Spanish astronomical literature of the era. Referencing Kepler and other luminaries, the text prophesies the decline of the Ottoman Empire starting from the pivotal year of 1683. In a twist of cosmic irony, this prediction coincides with the historic Battle of Vienna, where the Ottoman forces suffered a decisive defeat, effectively stalling their expansionist ambitions across Europe.
