What the qokedy are these? Fractions? Ranges? I mean, L-like thing could tentatively be 50, but the positioning seems odd, and then it can have an upside down L attached to it.

Just Roman numerals? 88, 19, 19. I guess the weird thing is C? 140...
RE: Catalan Zodiac Rose S.XV - oshfdk - 28-08-2025
So, it's
88, 19, 19, 140
29, 9, 77, 192
70, 183, 112?
What are the circles? Most of them are over the final I, but there is one over X in CLXXXXºII
RE: Catalan Zodiac Rose S.XV - oshfdk - 28-08-2025
Ok, it appears they put a circle whenever anything is repeated 4 times, be it I or X, just to make it stand out.

The columns are labelled mesos (months), dies (days), ores (hours), punts (points).
I think Koen is right, they should be numerals. But I don't know what is the meaning of "points", I mean I don't know what kind of points are they.

That's actually quite convenient, it always takes me a moment to see if something is repeated 3 or 4 times, especially with the minims. A problem they wouldn't have with the subtractive method, I guess.

The circle is letter 'o' and marks the number as an ordinal. In Italian:
VIIII= nove (nine)
VIIII°= Nono (ninth)

Thanks! But I still think it's more likely this particular o in the image above is used to mark four of the same characters in a row. Marking just a random subset of numbers as ordinals and only those that have I or X repeat 4 times would be too much of a coincidence. As far as I can see, in that table this o appears over all instances of IIII or XXXX and nowhere else.
Edit: one exception though: CXXXX has no o, unless this is not a C, but some kind of modifier, making this ?XXX
RE: Catalan Zodiac Rose S.XV - oshfdk - 28-08-2025
I'm not really convinced the below are 140 and 192. In both cases the leftmost upside-down L sign is attached to the next sign as some form of modifier, and also in this case ?XXXX has no o over XXXX, as if the first X in the sequence should be interpreted differently, not as X.
RE: Catalan Zodiac Rose S.XV - oshfdk - 28-08-2025
Also, there are 13 months here, with some kind of Jaber-something between January and February, or maybe one name overwritten over the other. Maybe a mistake? Could someone read these month names?
