Please can someone help me?

I need to find references to the major comet sightings in the year 1506.

Is there a compendium of such things, and if so what is it called.

Does anyone know of ANY comet sightings in the early 16th century.

I have been asked by a historian to calculate the countries in which a comet
would be visible given that it was visible in Britain at a particular date.
His reference does not specify in which constellation the comet was seen in
1506, hence my question.

Thanking you,
