Fromundus, at Louvain, the enemy of Galileo, steadily continued his crusade against all cometary heresy.( 105) (105) For Vossius, see the De Idololatria (in his Opera, vol.v, pp. 283-285).

For Fromundus, see his Meteorologica. But a still more striking case is seen in Italy.
The reverend Father Augustin de Angelis, rector of the Clementine College at Rome, as late as 1673, after the new cometary theory had been placed beyond reasonable doubt, and even while Newton was working out its final demonstration, published a third edition of his Lectures on Meteorology.
It was dedicated to the Cardinal of Hesse, and bore the express sanction of the Master of the Sacred Palace at Rome and of the head of the religious order to which De Angelis belonged.
