Just published a new blog post, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. on my site.
I shared five manuscript examples, including the original Bellifortis from 1405 (Gottingen Cod. Ms. Philos. 63) and a later copy (Codex FB 32009), as well as other manuscripts (not Bellifortis): Vienna ONB Cod. 3067; Munich Cgm 595; and BSB Cgm 312, which vary in date of creation from 1405 through 1450/1473 - though they were all created in a radius under 200 km in Bavaria - in no order: Eichstatt, Augsburg, Ingolstadt, Swabia / Eastern Swabia, and Tyrol (Austria).
I am very interested to see if anyone has more examples of the zodiac signs (especially those depicting classical planets) framed by text within a circle - in any manuscript - and if they are from this location.
Are they limited to this specific area? Prove me right / wrong. Thanks!
Including two images from the blog post.
All the best,
