Inter solem vero et lunam cum distet totum mundi spatium et lunae orienti sol trans contra sit ad occidentem, eam, quo longius arsit, a radiis remissam xiiii die plena rota totius orbis mittere splendorem, reliquos-que dies decrescentia cotidiana ad perfectionem lunaris mensis versationibus et cursu a sole revocationibus subire sub rotam radiosque eius, et iam menstruas dierum efficere rationes.
But when the whole space of heaven separates the sun and moon, and the sun is opposed on the west to the rising moon, the moon, burning at a greater distance, is released from the suns rays, and on the fourteenth day sends forth its splendour with the full disk of its whole orb. During the remaining days there is a daily decrease until the lunar month is complete; the moon as it revolves along its course is recalled under the suns disk and rays, and now completes the order of the days of the month.
