The "4 Ages of Man" Folio

[MarcoP]

Thank you VViews,
that page greatly interests me. It seems to be one for which quite a few interesting parallels can be found.
It was also discussed in this page on the site of Stephen Bax.

I wrote there:

D’Imperio says that F85R2 “seems likely to be related to the four seasons, the four ages of man, the four humors etc… Figures of this sort are very common in medieval astrological and medical manuscripts, and refer to the central doctrine of the ‘microcosm’ or ‘small world’ of the human being, thought to reflect or recapitulate in miniature the elements and relations of the larger universe of ‘macrocosm’”.
....
I prefer the Four Seasons because the Sun at the center suggests to me a cosmological meaning, more than an allegory of human life.

This is still my opinion. 

The object held by the bottom figure and paralleled by St.Anthony's rosary is rather puzzling. I am looking forward to see other images proposed for comparison. Parallels that include sets of four human figures, possibly arranged in a circle, seem to me to be the most relevant.
