Abstract
Abstract. In a primary documentary source we found an early record of ball lightning
(BL), which was observed in the monastery of Pi (Oliva, southeastern Spain)
on 18 October 1619. The ball lightning was observed by at least three people
and was described as a “rolling burning vessel” and a “ball of fire”. The
ball lightning appeared following a lightning flash, showed a mainly
horizontal motion, crossed a wall, smudged an image of the Lady of Rebollet
(then known as Lady of Pi) and burnt her ruff, and overturned a cross.
期刊介绍：
The scope of History of Geo- and Space Sciences (HGSS) is to document historical facts and knowledge and to improve awareness of the history of geoscience. The knowledge of the development of geosciences and their experimental methods and theories in the past can improve our current understanding and may stimulate current research. It is encouraging for young scientists to read biographical material of historical figures in their research area. It is important as well to learn that history of science is an integrated part of the ongoing research in their research area. Another important aim of the journal is the association of historical retrospective and current research.
