Barbarian driven 'way back as far as Tunis.

A ship from Tunisia brought plague to Sicily in 1624. It brought to Palermo Christian captives and gifts for the king. Out of greed, the king let the ship in, which was not allowed in other places. A third of the city’s population died. The plague spread further. The relics of St. Rosalia, found in a cave on the mountain, saved the city. They were carried around the city on July 15. The plague ceased miraculously. This day is celebrated in Palermo as a holiday.

Decoding of the number 9.42. lf 9 to flip in 6, the numbers to rearrange – 624, 1 to put in front, then it will be 1624 – year of pestilence on Sicily.

Quatrain 5.56 Pope Alexander VII

Par le trespas du tres vieillard pontife,

Sera esleu Romain de bon aage:

Qu'il sera dit que le Siege debiffe

Et long tiendra & de picquant ouurage.

Through the death of the very old Pontiff

A Roman of good age will be elected,

Of him it will be said that he weakens his see,

But long will he sit and in biting activity.
