"The work is mainly a numbered list of comets and deals with the comet of 1577 scarcely more than with the earlier ones. However, it belongs to the literature on the comet of l577 because it was a product of the furor created by that comet, and ... hopes for the sale of the book were on the interest aroused ... by the comet of 1577" -- Hellman.
