f72v1 - Thirteen circle segments (volvelle)
#5
Probably because of Easter I just remembered @Diane's reference to the British Library, MS Harley 3734, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. . The conspicus thing here is not the diagram in the middle at itself, which determines the date of Easter, but the diagrams altogether. In the description of the BL, the third circle is described as unfinished. Could it be a sketched explanation of the diagram's layout in the middle ? The counterclockwise numbering is a bit strange. The numbers 1-15 on the left are clearly identifiable, but the last three on the right ( 11-13 ) are not. This is the position where you can see the angel in the upper circle. Anyway, the positions of 1 and 2 in the lower and middle circle are identical.
There may have been a subsequent explanation on the next folio, but I can't verify that. In any case, the unfinished diagrams I have seen so far are not labeled or numbered. Often they were obviously drawn incorrectly.

Happy Easter to all of you.
