Sorry for the off-topic (this is not related with tides).
In some medieval manuscripts, constellations are represented "scientifically" using dots connected by lines, rather than the classical animal and human figures.
A good example is a zodiac wheel in ms You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (Speyer on the Rhyne, Germany, XIV Century?).
Of course, the fact that VMS 67r2 "dots" contain human faces seems hard to reconcile with a "scientific" approach to constellations. The T-O diagram at the bottom left also looks problematic in this case. But who knows?
[I also include a comparison with f68r3 "doary" / Taurus as discussed by You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and others]
