No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

The Rosettes folio is a representation of the cosmos. It is something that Mary D'Imperio already suggested. Like Panofsky with the interpretation of nude women as astral allegories, we should study more what the first researchers already said.
  
  That D'Imperio was right is demonstrable by consulting the VM's contemporary codices.
This is the 'Tratado de Astrologia' (RES/2), preserved in the National Library of Spain.

The important thing here is not the central representation of the planets but those strange oval shapes with dots and hairs (rays) that we see in the margins. It is a vision of the sphere of the stars, a vision that is equivalent to what we see in the Rosettes folio of the VM.
