Scientific paper

A collection of 15th to 19th century reports of meteoric, or possibly meteoric, events, is presented, drawn from manuscripts originating in the area of modern Romania. Aside from the popular beliefs represented in some of these, it seems there may also be important records of either strong Leonid or Andromedid activity from 1605 and 1765, neither year previously noted for producing such. If the first of these was Andromedids, this may be the earliest-known European record of this shower, although the identification is uncertain. The second event, whatever its source, seems to show a very early appreciation of the radiant effect, from long before it was first supposed recorded, during the 1833 Leonid storm.
