Newbold's # folio number scheme has this as 67r. # # Attributes: # # Language: ? (Currier) # Hand: ? (Currier) # Subsets: C (Rene), cos (Stolfi) # Subject: cosmological # Colors: green,red,yellow,blue (Reeds) # # Description: # # A circular diagram with four smaller circular medallions touching # it at the NE, SE, SW and NW corners. # # The main diagram is framed by a band delimited by two faint, # concentric, mechanically drawn circles, centered on the page. The # outer circle touches the vertical edges of the page. # # Between these two circles there are four "captions", North, South, # East and West (text units "C1", "C2", "C3", and "C4", # respectively), each in two short lines, reading clockwise. # # In the center of the large diagram there is an irregular square, # within which is inscribed another circle, within which is a star # with 6 or 7 arms. The space between the star and the circle is # filled with "spiral galaxy" hatching, whose "arms" bend # counterclockwise-out. There are two words above the square # (unit "S1") and another two below it (unit "S2"). # # From the square, lines radiate out in the E, S, W, and N # directions. Each of these four lines is labeled (units "L1" # through "L4") and terminates with a branching structure. # # Lines come in towards the square from the perimeter of the large # circle in the NW, NE, SE and SW direction. Each of these four # lines is labeled (units "L5" through "L8") and terminates with a # branching structure. Nested in these structures are two suns (NW # and SE) and two moons (NE and SW), all with faces. # # The small circles in the corners contain between three and four # human faces, joined by lines. NE circle: four faces connected by a # cross, and one label (unit "F2"). SE circle: four faces, in "L" # pattern (with the second face centered on the vertical and wearing # a pointy hat), and one label (unit "F1"). SW circle: four faces at each # point of a square "U", on a coloured background; the two on the # bottom of the "U" are upside down. (John Grove speculates that # there is a fourth face hidden behind the first one on L5). NW # circle: three circular faces with one face on each point of a # reversed "4". # # Comments: # # This is the folio Newbold claimed showed an annular eclipse. See # also John Manley's 1931 article in Speculum: ``Furthermore, I # invite the reader to examine carefully Plate IV and say whether it # bears any resemblance whatever to an annular eclipse.'' # # ## {} # Labels inside outer circles # Last edited on 1998-12-26 09:34:01 by stolfi # # "V" transcription by J.
