Here is the VMs example of a scallop-patterned cloud band from the central rosette illustration. It is just outside the circular band of text.

If we could use that band to replace the plain ink version of the nebuly line found in VMs You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. - according to the comparison with Oresme's cosmos as found here:

Then there is an even greater similarity with the Oresme illustration.
One structural difference between the cloud band pattern in the VMs example and those of the Oresme and de Pizan illustrations is that the VMs continues the 'bumpy' structure of the primary line all the way along its length, while the others are smooth along the sides of the crests and troughs and only 'bumpy' across the extremities. This is clearly a relatively minor difference when compared with the great variety of designs found in medieval cloud band patterns.
