Prognosticon for 1485 and 1486

For her illustrious son, there is no one who might do him harm, but to one of his brothers or sisters the stars are most adverse.

Pandulfus Malatesta, because of the solar eclipse, is in great danger of his life; may God in His kindness be with him and with His help, for his life is to be doubted greatly.

The Most Reverend Aftanius does not have this year like the previous one for obtaining honors, as we predicted, but he is involved in the contrarieties of kings and great lords, and he will receive sudden harm either from bile, fire, or violence unless he moderates all things with his prudence. For, as Balis says, the most grave impediments are decreed for him this year, which will be most difficult to avoid.

The Great Emperor of the Turks, because of his law or religion, will be made famous, and for the Christians, it is to be feared, according to the stars, from the Sicilians and the parts of the Neapolitan kingdom. For the solar eclipse is adverse to the Turks, but because Mars has claimed dominion for himself in the eclipse, I say that they will be most bold in invading the affairs of the Christians, and it is to be feared that they will be harassed by sudden martial matter or bile, and also that a movement of slaughter may be made among their own, and yet that they will be superior in war and, as it were, under the guise of hypocrisy, plot a great thing, and perhaps adhere more to the customs of the Christians than they did in previous years.
