And in the sun, above and below and on both sides, the color was blood, there stood a round ball of partly dull, partly black ferrous color. At first there appeared in the middle of the sun two blood-red semi-circular arcs, just like the moon in its last quarter. The woodcut illustration depicts objects of various shapes, including crosses (with or without spheres on the arms), small spheres, two large crescents, a black spear, and tubular objects from which several small spheres emerged and darted around the sky at dawn.Shop Art.com for the best selection of wall art and photo prints online Low price guarantee, fast shipping & free returns, and custom framing options.The text of the broadsheet has been translated by Ilse Von Jacobi as follows:In the morning of April 14, 1561, at daybreak, between 4 and 5 a.m., a dreadful apparition occurred on the sun, and then this was seen in Nuremberg in the city, before the gates and in the country – by many men and women. The broadsheet claims that witnesses observed hundreds of spheres, cylinders, and other odd-shaped objects that moved erratically overhead.
And when the conflict in and again out of the sun was most intense, they became fatigued to such an extent that they all, as said above, fell from the sun down upon the earth 'as if they all burned' and they then wasted away on the earth with immense smoke. Besides the globes flew back and forth among themselves and fought vehemently with each other for over an hour. These all started to fight among themselves, so that the globes, which were first in the sun, flew out to the ones standing on both sides, thereafter, the globes standing outside the sun, in the small and large rods, flew into the sun. In between these globes there were visible a few blood-red crosses, between which there were blood-red strips, becoming thicker to the rear and in the front malleable like the rods of reed-grass, which were intermingled, among them two big rods, one on the right, the other to the left, and within the small and big rods there were three, also four and more globes.
For it, may God grant us his help, Amen. After all, the God-fearing will by no means discard these signs, but will take it to heart as a warning of their merciful Father in heaven, will mend their lives and faithfully beg God, that He may avert His wrath, including the well-deserved punishment, on us, so that we may temporarily here and perpetually there, live as his children. Or we speak of them with ridicule and discard them to the wind, in order that God may send us a frightening punishment on account of our ungratefulness. Although we have seen, shortly one after another, many kinds of signs on the heaven, which are sent to us by the almighty God, to bring us to repentance, we still are, unfortunately, so ungrateful that we despise such high signs and miracles of God. Whatever such signs mean, God alone knows.
Jung thinks the images of four globes coupled by lines suggested crossed marriage quaternities and forms the model for "the primitive cross cousin marriage". A religious view would emphasize the crosses. "If the UFOs were living organisms, one would think of a swarm of insects rising with the sun, not to fight one another but to mate and celebrate the marriage flight." A military interpretation would view the tubes as cannons and the spheres as cannonballs, emphasize the black spearhead at the bottom of the scene, and Glaser's own testimony that the globes fought vehemently until exhausted. Jung expressed a view that the spectacle was most likely a natural phenomenon with religious and military interpretations overlying it. Modern interpretations According to author Jason Colavito, the woodcut broadsheet became known in modern culture after being published in Carl Jung's 1958 book Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies, a book which analyzed the archetypal meaning of UFOs.
Moon Sitting On Clouds Drawing Free Imperial City
It tried to maintain neutrality during the furious warring between Catholics and Protestants during the Reformation, but when one Protestant prince was rebuffed when he insisted on financial tributes to fund his battles, the city was besieged and its trade cut off. He notes Nuremberg was one of the most prestigious cities of the late Middle Ages, a Free Imperial City known for its wealth and nobility. Otto Billig made an effort to provide a historical context for the apparition in his comments.
Another sky apparition followed in July of knights fighting each other with fiery swords, thus warning a coming Day of Judgment. The victims brought it on themselves. On Good Friday, 1554 another siege happened, and one broadsheet publisher described mock suns that prognosticated God's will wanted confession of sinful ways – i.e.
Moon Sitting On Clouds Drawing Series Of Events
^ Frank Johnson (December 12, 2012). 1566 celestial phenomenon over Basel: A series of events on 27–28 July and 7 August 1566 reported in a Flugblatt (an early form of newspaper) as occurred in Basel, where red and black spheres have led to an apparent battle in the sky. Such conditions typically accentuate apocalyptic thought. Many similar broadsheets of wondrous signs exist in German and Swiss archives and Nuremberg seems the focus of a number of them, presumably because of the hardships and conflicts of the ex-prosperous.
