Oct. 15th, 2014: 170th NIETZSCHE's ANNIVERSARY
Historia abscondita - Jeder grosse Mensch hat eine rueckwirkende Kraft: alle Geschichte wird um seinetwillen wieder auf die Waage gestellt, und tausend Geheimnisse der Vergangenheit kriechen aus ihren Schlupfwinkeln - hinein in seine Sonne. Es ist gar nicht abzusehen, was alles einmal noch Geschichte sein wird. Die Vergangenheit ist vielleicht immer noch wesentlich unentdeckt! Es bedarf noch so vieler rueckwirkende Kraefte! [aus: Die froehliche Wissenschaft, n. 34]

Historia abscondita - Every great man exerts a retroactive force: for his sake all of history is placed in the balance again, and a thousand secrets of the past crawl out of their hiding places - into his sunshine. There is no way of telling what may yet become part of history. Perhaps the past is still essentially undiscovered! So many retroactive forces are still needed !

Historia abscondita - Ogni grand'uomo possiede una forza retroattiva: grazie a lui viene posta nuovamente sulla bilancia tutta la storia passata, e migliaia di segreti strisciano fuori dagli angoli di essa più nascosti - illuminati dalla sua luce. Non è affatto prevedibile tutto ciò che diventerà storia. Il passato è forse ancora tutto essenzialmente da scoprire! C'è ancora bisogno di così tante forze retroattive!! [da: La gaia scienza, n. 34]

October A.D. 34: the Appearance of the TACITUS' PHOENIX (Annals 6.28), i.e. one of the most important astroNomical events ever happened
La congiunzione planetaria tra Giove e Saturno che avvenne a cavallo degli anni 34-35 nella costellazione del Leone (congiunzione G-S eliocentrica il 28.12.34, ang.resid.=0°26'13") |
Gaius Cornelius Tacitus (ca. 56-117) |
28. With Paulus Fabius and Lucius Vitellius as consuls [A.D.34], after a long cycle of centuries the phoenix came to Egypt and afforded material to the most learned of the natives and Greeks for holding forth at length on that marvel. I am pleased to set out the points on which they agree and the many details which are in doubt but not inappropriate to know. Those who have portrayed its appearance agree that that animal is sacred to the Sun and that in its face and the uniqueness of its feathers it is different from the other birds. As regards the number of its years various accounts are recorded. .. ... ... These matters are uncertain and exaggerated by fabulous details; but that that bird is seen from time to time in Egypt is not in dispute. [Tacitus, tr. R. Martin, Aris ltd, 2001]
About a phoenix appeared in the last years of Tiberius' reign wrote also Pliny the Elder and Dione Cassius, giving both as year of the appearance A.D. 36. This error was due in my opinion to the fact that the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction of those years was indeed a multiple conjunction, i.e. a conjunction which lasted many months in both years A.D. 34 and 35 (what everyone can verify personally, see graphics above).
The enormous relevance of this astroNomical event is because its second close alignment Jupiter-Saturn (J-S) took place (see graphics) on 2-3 April, A.D.35, just some days before the Jewish spring-feast of Pesach. Moreover on April 6th the Moon occulted one of the two 'conjuncted' planets, Jupiter, and perhaps both.
I think everyone of you, my dear readers, can easily understand how important is this "appearance of the phoenix in A.D. 34 -35" for a scientific study (datation, essence, ...) of the religious belief based - among other things - on it: the Christianity.
