Low latitude auroras prior to 1200 C.E. and Ezekiel's vision

In another paper in this volume the auroral events of August 28 and September 2, 1859 have been discussed in the context of other events from that time to the present. Elsewhere, Siscoe, Silverman and Siebert have presented persuasive arguments for the proposition that the first chapter of the Biblical book of Ezekiel was a description of an aurora. The present paper discusses a number of low latitude auroras beginning with an unusually active period around 1100 C.E., proceeding through the period of the beginning of the Common Era, to the time of Ezekiel and Assyrian and Babylonian observations.
