Many people have tried to reconcile the VMS "star" pages with star names (including me). In fact, I made a concerted effort to find what they were called in the 10th to 15th centuries (and how they were spelled) and carefully recorded these from manuscripts from a number of different countries.
The problem is, the star section "labels" are too repetitious (and in many cases too short) to correspond with medieval star names or other cosmological nomenclature, at least when seen from the perspective of simple substitution.
