moon that keeps on going appears horned three days later.
From this eclipse [see note] you can understand what you
have heard about this. [rubric:] Of the eclipse that happened at the death of Our Lord. [/rubric]

Just as the
moon takes from us
the brightness of
the sun, so it often
happens that the sun
again takes away the
brightness of the moon,
as is clearly declared
above. But
an eclipse cannot happen to the moon except when it is at its fullest, nor can
there be an eclipse of the sun if the moon is not there, unless God, who can
change and destroy anything as He wishes, makes it to be so.
And that is what happened at the time Our Savior Jesus Christ was put on the cross,
when the brightness of the day failed between noon and the ninth hour.
And it happened when the the moon was as far from
the sun is it could be, as it was completely
