So, Mauro noted that Uranus was only discovered during the 18th century, and many people noted that the eclipse was not visible from visible in this clarity, so from this I raise two options:
1. It is indeed this eclipse, but somehow the author (or one of the authors) managed to know how the sky looked like somewhere in Africa/Asia where the eclipse was fully visible; or
2. It is another eclipse.
I think that the latter is improbable given the similarities that I found, and if so, the possibilities of the star that's supposed to be Uranus in my hypothesis may be:
1. Indeed Uranus, but mistaken for a regular star, given that it was only identified as a planet during the 18th century; or
2. Another star/planet between the sun and the moon (maybe? from the two similar words for the stars).
From now, I thank everyone for the contributions to my hypothesis, indeed there were serious flaws as expected
but I'll keep on researching possibilities.
