Transcription problem - f68v3 and Rosettes foldout

[Mark Knowles]

Mark, you don't need a third-party "source" to know what these drawings represent. All you have to do is read the text next to the drawings. It says exactly what the sections represent, sometimes the label is on the drawing itself. It's not in code. What René said is correct.

Have you read the page?

My sense is that the idea that the diagram represents air/fire-earth-water is not based on the text, but rather on someone's interpretation of the drawing having briefly glanced at the text. It states that the top right quarter represents the most habitable part of the earth with the clear implication that the other 2 parts also represents other part of the earth. Note the most habitable part coincides with what we would think of as Europe which is not surprising from an European author. Maybe I have missed something, but this is my reading of the text.
