[71] Happenings.

In this same year 1188, on the second day of February, a Thursday,430 there was a total eclipse of the moon in the fourth hour of the night and lasting for three hours. Also four before the Ides of February,431 when I was at Argenteuil,432 in the full moonlight,433 shortly before dawn, on a very calm night, the moon, which stands for the Church, was suddenly seen to come all the way down to earth and, after a brief pause, as though reinvigorated, to climb up again by degrees all the way to the place from which it had descended. This was seen by certain religious brothers, Robert of Gisors, prior of this same church [of Argenteuil], and J. of Chartres, sacristan of the church of the Blessed Denis, and many other brothers, who related it to us.
