A right excellent treatise of Astronomy, made in the Thuscane or Italian tongue, by master Antonius De Montulmo, called in latin Fancies coeli, the face of the Heavens wherein a man may see tofore hand the mutations of the air that shall happen for this present year of our lord 1554, & 1555, next following, declaring also what diseases, wars, pestilence, dearth of victuals shall happen to them that dwell in the eight climate under the elevation of the pole Arctic 52. degrees as the inhabitants of the most part of England do dwell. Translated into English by Fredrick van Brunswike.  
Imprinted at London, by Thomas Marsh, dwelling in Fleetstreet, at the sign of the prince's arms.   

FOr asmuch, as God which is the beginning of all Creatures, (good gentle reader) hath made man to his own similitude and likeness, whereby he is almost comparable to the holy Angels of God, who is it then that will deny that man may by the disposition of the stars prognosticate things to come, as Berosus Chaldeus writeth, that holy Noah did unto the Armenians & Scythians after the universal deluge or flood, wherefore they called him the partaker of the mind of God. Moreover, S. Jerome writeth, that what so ever can be comprehended with human understanding is ruled by the wheels of the sun. Wherefore in asmuch as both the divine & the prince of Philosophers Aristotle in his book de generatione & corruption confesseth that propter accessum & recessum solis in curculo obliquo fiunt generationes & corruptiones in mundo sublunari: It followeth that knowing the disposition of the celestial bodies, by the which all elementate bodies be ruled, that we men may by the science of Astronomy (which science Petrus Caneracensis calleth worthily natural theology (prognosticating as is aforesaid things to come, as mutations of the air, pestilences, and all other infirmities, war penury, peace, or plenty of virtuals, which depend of the heavens as second causes of God, to such effects, appointed wherefore (good gentle reader) the premises being well pensed, I desire the not to take all things that shall be prognosticated in this years prognostication and the next years prognostication as contigentes of fatal necessity, but that it shall chance, if god do not forbid, thus I bid thee well to far.  

¶ The first Chapter.  
Considering first the entering of the Sun into the first minute of the head of Aries, in the ninth sphere which is the first beginning of our year Astronomical, I find the twenty and four of Libra ascendent, theightene of Scorpio, the beginning of the second house, the twenty and one of Sagitari the beginning of the third house, the second of Aquarius the beginning of the fowerth house, the eight of Pisces the beginning of the .v. house, the third of Aries, the beginning of the sixth house, the twenty and four of Aries the beginning of the seventh house, the eighteen of Taurus, the beginning of the eight house, the twenty and one of Gemini, the beginning of the ninth house, the second of Leo the beginning of the tenth house, the eight of Virgo, the beginning of the eleventh house, the third of Libra the beginning of the twelfth house, Full in the first of Aries, Luna in the eighteen degree of Gemini, Saturnus in the twenty and two degree of Pisces, jupiter xxix of Virgo retrograde. Mars the xxvi of Pisces, Venus in the xiii. of Pisces, Mercurius in the eight of Pisces, I take upon this figure, Mercurius to be the lord of the first quarter of the year, until the Sun entre unto the first of Cancer, which Shallbe the xii of june this year, and I make Venus partaker with him. Wherefore as for the disposition of the air, it shallbe rainy and stormy, specially the most part of all Marthe next, and great winds, and in April next hail, specially about the ninth of April many days before and many days after the day aforesaid. And in May rainy and windy, spcially the first week before Whitsondaie. Thus I have generally touched the disposition of the first quarter of this year.   

¶ The second Chapter, of the disposition of the next quarter Astronomical, beginning the xiii of june twenty and two minute after vii of the clock in the Morning.  
THE figure of the whole heaven, shallbe thus, the degree ascendent, the fifth of Leo, the twenty and four of Leo, the seconde-house, the fowerteneth of Virgo, the beginning of the third house, the thirteen of Libra, the beginning of the fowerth house, the twenty and six of Scorpio, the beginning of the fifth house, the ninth of Capricorn, the beginnyg of the sixth house, the fifth of aquary, the beginning of the seventh house, the twenty and four of aquary, the beginning of th'eight house, the fowertenth of Pisces, the beginning of the ninth house, the thirteen of Aries, the beginning of the ten house, the xxvi of Taurus, the beginning of the eleventh house, the ix of Cancer, the beginning of the twelfth house, Sol in the first minute of Cancer, Luna in theightene of Scorpio, Saturnus in the first minute of Aries, jupiter in the xxv of Virgo, Mars the fowerth of Gemini, Venus' th'eight of Cancer, Mercurius in the fifteen of Gemini. And the lady of the hour shallbe Venus. Upon this figure I perceive that Sol is the chiefest dominatour of the second quarter before mentioned, who committeth his disposition by a quarter aspert of Saturn, being lord of the eight house, the house of death, by the which it is signified, that there that be this year great death, and specially this quarter, which shallbe very hot and dry.   

¶ The iii Chapter of the third quarter of the year aforesaid, that is to say, th'entry of the Sun into the first minute of Libra, the thirteen of September, eight hours, fifteen minutes, forty seconds after Noon.  
THE site or figure shallbe this of the heavens at the time and hour aforesaid, the sixth of Gemini the ascendente, the third of Cancer, the beginning of the second house, the third, the eighteen of Cancer, the third of Leo, the fowerth house, the twenty and five, of Leo the fift house, the sixth house the eleventh of Libra the sixth of Sagitari the seventh house, the third of Capricorn th'eight house, the xviii of Capricorn the ninth house, the iii of Aquarius the tenth house, the xxv of Aquarius the xi house the xi of Aries the xii house, the sun in the first minute of Libra, the moon in the i degree of Taurus, Saturnus in the 27. of Pisces retrogade ♃, in the xi. of Libra, ☿, in the .v. of Leo, Venus in the two. of Scorpio, ♂ in the xix of Libra retrograde, upon this figure I see Venus to be lady of this quarter and I find Sol to be Lord of the hour, and that Luna from Taurus with an apposite aspect committeth her disposition to Venus, and Venus over Mars by aquarte aspect by the which it is signified that in that quarter about the beginning shallbe great thunder, and about the end rainy weather.   

¶ The fourth chapter of the four quarter of the year of our lord aforesaid, that is to say, the entry of the sun in to the first minute of Capricorn xii hours xlvii. minutes xxxii seconds after none in the xi. of December the year aforesaid.  
THe figure of the heavens thalbee thus as followeth, the degree ascendente, the ninth of Libra, the third of Scorpio the second house, the third house, the fowerth of sagittary the xi. of Capricorn the beginning of the fourth house, the 17. of aquary the fifth house, the xu of Pisces the vi house, the ix. of Aries the seventh house the iii of Taurus the. viii, house, the fourth of Gemini the ninth house, the eleventh of Cancer the tenth house. 17. of Leo the eleventh house, the sixteen of Virgo the twelve house, the Sun in the first Minute of Capricorn, the Moon in the third of Leo, Saturnus in the twenty and four of Pisces, jupiter in the twenty and nine of Libra, Mars in theightene of Virgo, Venus in the seventeen of Aquarius, Mercurius in the thirteen of Capricorn, upon this figure I perceive Venus to be lady and Mercuri her parteiner, wherefore it shallbe much inclined to Rain and wind most part of this quarter.  
  

¶ The fift Chapter declaring the figure of the heavens at the eclipse of the sun, which shall be the year above said, xxix. of june seven. hours xxxi minu. after noon.  
☉ The first house which is called the ascendent the iii of Capricorn, the ii house, the xiiii. of aquary, the third house, the viii. of Aries, the eight of Taurus, the fourth house, the xxvi. of Taurus the .v. house, the eleventh of Gemini, the vi. house, the third of Cancer the seventh house, the xiiii. of Leo the eight house, the viii. of Libra the ninth house the tenth house, th'eight of Scorpio, the xxvi. of Scorpio the eleventh house the xi of Sagittarius the xii. house, the son in the xvii. of Cancer, the moon also in the xvii. of Cancer. Saturn in the first degree of Aries, jupiter in the xxvii. of Virgo, Mars in the xvi of Gemini, Venus in the xxix. of Cancer, Mercurius in the xxviii. of Gemini I take upon this figure celestial jupiter to be lord, who is in the eight house, & in the dominion of Mercurius, which signifieth great death shall happen through hot fevers subverting the memory of men, making them to rave & to rage's as mad men without any reason, and this shall happen most among noble men and amongst boys not passing xiiij years, and amongst young women.  
  

¶ The figure of the heavens at the time of the Eclipse of the moon, which Shallbe th'eight of December xiiii. hours twenty minutes after noon the year of our Lord abovesaid, 1554.  
☽ The degree ascendent the 23. of Libra, the xvi. of Scorpio the second house: the third house the xix of sagittary, the fourth house the first of Aquarius the fifth house the vi. of Pisces, the second of Aries the vi. house, the seventh house the xxiii. of Aries th'eight house, the xvi. of Taurus, the xix of Gemini the ninth house, the tenth house the first of Leo, the eleventh the vi. of Virgo, the xii. house the second of Libra, the sun in the xxvii of Sagittary, the moon in the xxvii. of Gemini eclipsed in the ninth house of the heavens Saturnus in the 24 of Pisces in the fifth house, jupiter in the xxviii of Libra in the first house of the heavens, Mars in the xvii. of Virgo in the xi. house of Venus in the xiiii. of Aquari in the fourth house, Mercurius in the ninth of Capricorn in the third house, I take upon this figure celestial Mercurius to be Lord, and the moon to be the particular lady of the house of henour and kingdoms, who being totally obscured and darkened in the ninth house signifieth that there shallbe an occasion of universal mourning.  
  

¶ The particular declaration of the wether for this present year. Anno. Domini. 1554.

¶ The vii Chapter of the infirmities that shall be in the aforesaid year of our Lord. M.D.liiii. and in every quarter thereof.  
SHE standing of sol in the first of Aries, and in the sixth house of the heavens, signifieth that the infirmities, which shall happen in the first quarter of the year aforesaid, shallbe in the heads of men, as madness, and other hot infirmities about the brain, because that he is Lord of the sixth house, which house signifieth of his own nature, diseases, and infirmities. More over Mars the sanguinolent planet, being in the sixth house, at the time of the Eclipse of the Sun, signifieth that there shallbe many hot and dry agues, as Tercians, which come of corrupt blood, and colour superaboundante, in the second quarter of the year abovesaid, and many diseases, which shall happen in men's Necks also in the said quarter, which shall rise of corrupt blood and choler superabundaunte in the second quarter of the year abovesaid, and many diseases, which shall happen in men's necks also in the said Quarter, which shall arise of corrupt blood, and puscules, and antraces, and pains in men's ears also. And in the third Quarter of the year abovesaid, there shallbe many diseases reigning in the rains, and in the secret places, because of Venus, being impedite in the revolution figure in the sixth house, and that in the sign of Scorpio. Finally in the fowerth quarter of the year abovesaid there shallbe many diseases in the eyes, and in the bellies of men, and women and in their necks, shoulders, and arms, many infirmities.   

¶ The viii Chapter of wars, and contentions.  
FIrst sol in the sixth house, and in his exaltation, signifieth that the Servile and ignoble people will hate their nobility, and will look to exalt themselves against them, and that in the first Quarter of the year abovesaid, and Saturnus in the sign of Pisces, the princely planete jupiter's house, mingled with the beams of ♂ the Sanguinolent signifieth that there shallbe bloodshed among noble men, and great contentions, which shall at last be pacified by noble men of religion in the next quarter of the year. Mars in Gemini a mannely sign, signifieth manslaughter, and in the third quarter, Mars in Leo, and in the fowerth house, signifieth contentions, and that many shall in that revolution come to their end by the sword. Finally Mars in the fowerth and last quarter, signifieth bloodshed, and wars, because he is in ♀ which is a Sign of humane form, & in the twelve house, the house of enemies and contentions.   

¶ The ix Chapter of cattle, and all other things, which serve for Victuals, as wheat, barley, beans, & such like.

Beans shallbe of a meetly reasonable price in the first quarter aforesaid. Wines shallbe of a mean price, and honey shallbe of a lower price, than it hath wont to be. Many apples this year shallbe, specially of Sweetynges, and such like. Moreover in the second quarter wheat shallbe of mean price, and very little of it the said quarter.

More over the wether shall be cold and cloudy, and the air with blackness almost always covered.
