If it is the way I see it, the images are mostly about popular astronomy, that is constellation myths etc. Aratus' popular poem is the closest I can think of, along with similar texts like Hyginus and parts of Manilius. (Even though Manilius was called the first real astrologer, the majority of his work is what we would call astronomy).
My objection is of course that you can never know what a medieval scribe actually knew. So much of what they produced was compiled from traditional authorities.
