The 1733 eclipse report yields a solar radius of 696250 km and high-latitude prominences consistent with a solar minimum around that time.
Clavius' 1560 and 1567 eclipse descriptions, combined with updated ephemerides, constrain the 1567 solar radius to <=696200 km and indicate no linear secular shrinkage but possible centennial oscillations.
