All three rings are broken at 11:30 # by two radial strokes and a decorated design. # # At the center of the diagram there is a cicle of small "pearls", # containing a woman's(?) face, with crossed eyes and a bored or # displeased look. The space between them is dark (hair? shadow?). # # This small circle is surrounded by elongated triangular spikes, painted # solid dark, forming a 12-pointed star. The gaps between consecutive # spikes are filled by kite-shaped regions, with the sharp corner pointing inward. # The result is another "fat" star with 12 chubby points and finely serrated outlines. # Each "kite" is split along its diagonal; the clockwise half is painted # solid dark, the other one is filled with little stars. # # The space between the "fat star" and the outer circle is divided into # 24 sectors, containing alternately a label and one or two stars. # (The "star" sectors are those aligned with the starry half-kites.) # # In the SE corner there is a mark resembling a "9" with "ng" superscript. # # Comments: # # The central face probably represents the moon. # # The mark in the SE corner is almost certainly the quire number, # "9th" in abbreviated Latin. # ## {} # Text above diagram. # Last edited on 1998-12-08 10:57:41 by stolfi # # "U" transcription by J.

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.

At the center there is # a large sun with 18 narrow undulating rays (with two of them # joined; see below). The sun has a face with a short "frame" beard, # broad smile, crossed eyes, a skullcap. At the temples, two locks # of light wavy hair escape from under the cap. # # There are 17 short titles radiating out of the center, towards the # diagram's outer frame (unit "Y").

(There is another "p" at # 04:15 and an "f" at 06:30, but they are not line-initial.) # # It is not certain that the labels in the outer band are # associated with the rays. The gap on the left side is # definitely empty, and that on the right appears to be so. # Thus there are only 12, or at most 14, labels in the band. # # The decoration in the outer band includes 24 copies of the # "notched square" symbol, with double vertical edges. # # ## {} # Labels around outer band # Last edited on 1998-12-24 21:15:19 by stolfi # # "V" transcription by J.

(An # extra-wide gap at 10:30 may be the starting point.) # # At the center there is a figure that looks pretty much like a # flower, with eight almond-shaped petals. The petals have serrated # edges, and overlap randomly. (However some pairs of petals seem to # be fused.) The petals have been painted in a dark color. # # At the very center of this "flower" there is an irregular star, # with twisted rays, in a different color. # # The "flower"'s outline ia an eight-sided star, resembling two # concentric squares rotated 45 degrees apart. From the tips # of each "petal", there sprouts a straight narrow tendril. # Each tendril soon turns into a radial text line, reading outwards # (unit "R"). Some of the text is therefore upside down. # # The eight sectors defined by these rays alternately contain a # bunch of unnamed stars, or two radial labels (unit "S"), collinear # and reading outwards, with a single star between them. Clockwise # from the division at 11:30 there are 9, 1, 8, 1, 9, 1, 9, 1 stars, # i.e. 35 unlabeled ones and 4 labeled ones.

Clockwise from the 10:00 point, the light # half-sectors contain the following counts of stars: # # 4 4 4 3 4 4 5 6 6 6 7 7 6 5 5 5 # * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * # * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * # * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * # * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * # * * * * * * * * * * # * * * * * * # * * # # All told there are 66 stars. (But the star count of 7 in the 06:30 # sector may be an 8. # # Thin radial lines connect each point of the star to the # inner edge of the frame. The 16 sectors defined by these lines # are alternatingly filled with unnamed stars, or labeled with # a radial text line, reading outwards. Clockwise from the # 10:00 ray, the sectors contain the following counts: # # 8 7 7 8 9 9 8 7 # * * * * * * * * # * * * * * * * * # * * * * * * * * # * * * * * * * * # * * * * * * * * # * * * * * * * * # * * * * * * * * # * * * * * # * * # # There are 63 stars in total. # # There is a comet-tail-like object behind one of the stars in # the 03:00 sector. # # Comments: # # It is not clear whether the "start here" strokes at 10:00-10:30 # are original, or modern guesses scribbled on the copy. If the # latter, then they seem wrong, because those word gaps are quite # ordinary and not aligned. # # Another possible starting place is at 01:15, where both rings have # aligned, extra-wide word breaks. # # On the other hand, the EVA "p" on the the 10:30 radial line suggests # that that is indeed the first line. # # The center figure is probably female. # # Note that the small and large star counts are almost the same (67 # and 63); perhaps 64 was the intended number. Note also that the # small star counts are unimodal. The big star counts would be # unimodal too if the 11:00 sector had 7 stars, or the 09:30 sector # had 8. The latter seems more likely as it would have bumped the # number of big stars to 64. In both sequences the minimum is around # 01:10 (the aligned breaks!) and the maximum around 07:00. # # The "tail" in the 03:00 sector may mean that one of the stars is a comet. # # ## {} # Circular text around diagram # Last edited on 1998-12-08 23:20:55 by stolfi # # "U" transcription by J.
