[split] What is "a Zodiac" and does it apply to the VM section?

[-JKP-]

...

So I say:
- "A Zodiac": NO
- A standard series of Zodiac images: NO
- Use of Zodiac images: YES

I'm comfortable with that.


As for it being a "calendar", what is the definition of a calendar for purposes of this discussion? The 30 divisions for each section might refer to some very old calendars, or it might refer to the 30 degrees associated with each progression of the constellations.

If the zodiac-symbol sequence is incomplete, so is the "calendar". In most of the manuscripts I've seen, calendars were identified by numbers or auspicious days or saints' days or labors of the months. The VMS sequence has none of these.
