OF THE IMAGES OF THE SUN.
FROM the operations of the Sun they made an image at the hour of the Sun, the firft face of Leo afcending with the Sun; the form of which was a king crowned, fitting in a chair, having a raven in his bofom, and under his feet a globe: he is clothed in faffron coloured clothes. They fay that this image renders men invincible and honourable, and helps to bring their bufinefs to a good end, and to drive away vain dreams; alfo to be prevalent againſt fevers, and the plague; and they made it in a balanite ftone, or a ruby, at the hour of the Sun, when he, in his exaltation, fortunately afcends. They made another image of the Sun in a diamond, at the hour of the Sun afcending in his exaltation; the figure of which was a woman crowned, with the gefture of one, dancing and laughing, ftanding in a chariot drawn by four horfes, having in her right hand a looking-glafs or buckler, in the left a ftaff, leaning on her breaft, carrying a flame of fire on her head. They fay that this image renders a man fortunate, and rich, and beloved of all; and they made this image on a cornelian ftone, at the hour of the Sun afcending in the firft face of Leo, againft lunatic paffions, which proceed from the combuftion of the Moon.
