I reread the thread and found the link to You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. provided by MarcoP (in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.) . Of course, I remember its tidal diagram (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.), but now I was interested in the library description to it.
It contains such lines:
"Simple versions of the tidal diagram occur in scientific manuscripts from the Carolingian period on. The tidal rota on W.73, fol. 8v is a hybrid that fuses the basic tidal diagram with early wind rotae. This combination reflects Bede’s assertion that the winds effect the movement of the tides. For a tidal diagram similar to the one in W.73, see London, British Library Harley MS 3017, fol. 135r, a computus manuscript made after 861 CE at Fleury or Nevers in northeast France."
It is really similar, but a little simplier.What I'm quite interested is in those simple tidal diagrams which are also mentioned in the description text. But however I try to find any of them, I find nothing. Maybe, someone knows where to search.
The second point that attracted me again is the hat of one of the "faces" in the right bottom corner. David Jackson supposed (in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.) it is a "jewish hat". Now I have a question: Could this hat be a sign of any celebration, supposedly Jewish? May it signify, for example, Passover?
I didn't pay attention before, but it turns that the celebration of Passover coincides with Spring edited : spring tides which are the highest tides for a year. It unites the two celestial events causing tides: march equinox and the Full Moon.
