Sayfa 436 / 1391

The largest (the fixed stars) was spangled-the seventh (the sun)

was brightest-the eighth (the moon) shone by the light of the

seventh-the second and fifth (Saturn and Mercury) were most like

one another and yellower than the eighth-the third (Jupiter) had

the whitest light-the fourth (Mars) was red-the sixth (Venus) was

in whiteness second. The whole had one motion, but while this was

revolving in one direction the seven inner circles were moving in

the opposite, with various degrees of swiftness and slowness.
