1451. Some spirits of the inhabitants of the planet Venus who are from this side spoke with me, and they said they were definitely only goatherds, having only cattle with large horns. When I depicted sheep to them, they said they did not have them, but when goats were pictured, they said they did, and that they were herdsmen of these (so they wanted to be called). They do know of larger varieties, but do not have them.
