Prognosticon for 1485 and 1486

devastation of the northern regions, nor does the solar eclipse render him safe, but rather he will be seen to be gravely ill.

The most sacred King of the Neapolitans has this year as most hostile to himself, and in his kingdom he will feel from the barbarians a legion, and such that he may regret having treated his subjects badly and harassing them with wars, and it is greatly to be feared that he may have this fatal year or share the kingdom with another.

The Duke of Calabria, being promoted to one dignity or another, the higher things were discerned, nor has his revolution finished until the month of October; thus it is to be expected until I have written the outcome of that revolution before we prophesy anything about him.

The Duke of Milan will see leaders of arms, many strange martial men; with whom, through persuasion, he should take care that nothing be plotted against them, lest in his domain something might arise, and he should take care of adverse bodily health, and lest his mother or some of his own be taken away, for the stars indicate that they will understand adverse things when they have moved from ancient positions.

The Venetians, from the disposition of the heavens, will have a new leader for themselves, the place of the dead being what it is, both in the city and in arms; the stars threaten them with plague among their chief men, nobles, and princes of the city, and perhaps they seem to be harassed in the Illyrian war, with great expense to themselves.

The magnificent Florentines, far beyond previous years, from the disposition of the heavens and the solar eclipse, find this year hostile due to seditions and wars and pestilence, nor will they receive the fruits such as they had in the previous year, and in public matters, hopes will fall short of what was desired; let them take care of their own movements and tumults after the first half of the year, for the solar eclipse indicates this, and the death of those in power.

The magnificent lords of Siena will be seen to be provident in their affairs and to act more mildly with exiles than they did the previous year, especially after the first half of the year, and they also seem to be secure from the plague.

The Duke of Ferrara will take annoyances from journeys; as for the rest, he intends to wander in pleasant places and to be in good company, and it will be well for him before the middle of the year, afterward not so.

Ludovico Sforza hangs until this year under the prophecy of the previous year, concerning which, if he reaches the point where it ends, he will be free. Let him take care to avoid what we have said, lest he be in the evil of the previous year's stellar position.

Guido, Duke of the Urbinates, will be in his affairs, he will be a man intent on the things of Venus, he should be cautious with larger animals, and when riding, he should be prudent, lest he suffer a fall from on high.

Camilla, with her most illustrious son, if she escapes the revolution of the previous year, it will be well, and all things will succeed prosperously if she avoids what we have said.
