Quote:So what you are saying is, this could be "planning error" during creation of these circles.
I see no corrections in the drawings.
All drawings are made correct and seem to have had some planning.
If the 4 or 5 ladies did not fit inside the circles by accident, why are these the only 3 pictures in the entire vms where such a thing happened ?
My idea is not exactly about planning errors, but rather that the author did not care too much about all figures fitting in two circles. "If they fit - that's OK, if they don't - no problem, we'll add them on the top".
I think that his essential task was to depict the given number of labeled (!) figures, and the circumstance that they sometimes did not fit into two circles did not bother him much.
Quote:Do you have seen other examples of circular zodiac manuscript drawing where such a thing happened also ?
No.

You will see there is plenty of room in the circles for at least 1 extra woman in each circle.
So why are there here 4 ladies outside again ? And not 3, or 2 or six ?
Yes. But if we assume that the ladies are labeled as they are depicted, then there is no that spare room anymore.
In the Sagittarius page, the sequence of the outer circle is likely to have begun from the odees lady. Note that then they clockwise are pretty tight to each other, while the last sheol lady has some increased room between herself and the odees lady, but not sufficient to hold one more lady. Same thing for the inner circle.
The number of the "outside" ladies just results by deducting the number of "inside" ones from 29 or from 30 which looks like a pre-defined total for each month (?).
