It is just possible that the upper left quadrant in Oresme's figure is air rather than fire.
However, the topic is cosmology and the elements.
Here's another Ninja thread:

I have browsed these two threads and there are statements as to what each thing represents, but it is unclear as to what the evidence supporting these statements is. Are there sources saying this represents that and this represents that etc. ? Or are these someone's theories?
Are you saying that the T/O map I included above represents Earth, Air, Water? If so how do you justify that?(I can obviously read the German saying it is the world in the quote"Da ist die welt indrvi tail get", but am unsure as to how to read the rest of the text round the T/O) If you think it is not Earth, Air and Water how can you explain the similarity with the Oresme drawing?
