Scientific paper

The beautiful comet that hovers above the Bethlehem stable in Giotto's
`Adoration of the Magi' (the fresco in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua) is
most probably the bright naked-eye comet of 1304 and not, as is commonly
supposed, the first recorded image of Comet Halley, at its 1301
apparition.
