Why the Voynich Zodiac - isn't

[ReneZ]

Ignoring the month inscriptions, the order the VM illustrations appear when reading through the manuscript isn't entirely clear to me from the scans. Is this correct?

This is the order in the MS (all figures listed left to right):

Quire 10
Folio 70v:  Fish, first sheep/goat  

Quire 11
Folio 71r:   Second sheep/goat
Folio 71v:  First bull

Folio 72r:   Second bull,  twins,  lobsters
Folio 72v:   Feline,  maiden,  scales

Quire 12
Folio 73r:   "Scorpion"
Folio 73v:  Crossbowman
Folio 74:   <lost>

The order is completely standard for a zodiac, apart from the split of the aries and taurus in two halves.
