Your examples of the heavens and stars illustrated as a spiraling scroll do seem like they may be relevant. At first, a reference to Revelation seems out of place on this page as a whole, especially when we've focused on a birth of Ecclesia narrative and connections to Pentecost. But this particular passage with the heavens receding like a scroll is about the opening of the sixth seal, which may actually be associated with this. These events described in Revelation 6 - the darkness of the sun, the moon turning red like blood - are referenced also in Acts 2 as a prophecy that's related to the beginning of Pentecost. In Acts 2 when tongues of fire and the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles, Peter says that this was part of a prophecy:

Quote:17 "'And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; 18 even on my male servants and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy. 19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke; 20 the sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day. 21 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.'

So the imagery in the top right rosette might fit with those descriptions, either from Revelation 6, or as a reference of those events as a future prophecy like this. Without more biblical background, this is all I could tell for now, but there seems to be a connection here. I wonder if this would fit into this page as a whole with these themes, relating to these pivotal events. 

Since Searcher mentioned the bottom right rosette again and its tent/curtain, and the question of how the two diagonal rosettes (top left and bottom right) might connect, I wanted to mention something else.

 I'd pay attention that the part of the "curtain" of the right bottom rosette contains a pattern dividing the square into four parts. Possibly it is just a decoration, but what if there is a connection between these two diagonal rosettes, besides of that that these corner contain the pictures of the Sun. I think this diagonal represents the way of the Sun and, at the same time, can be the way of Christ (his transfiguration).


I saw the four-part division of that square as indicating an architectural detail, like the top or underside view of a pointed, four-sided roof, but I agree that there are important connections along the diagonal directions of this folio as a whole. As Koen wrote in the blog post, our interpretation of the top left rosette as the Side Wound and the bottom right rosette as the ripping of the Temple Veil, a symbol of the Old Covenant, puts these two rosettes in an opposing diagonal position: Ecclesia opposing Synagoga. What I don't think we mentioned, but is very much related, is that the tearing fabric was also likened to a wound, so the two simultaneous events were connected in multiple ways in addition to the light/darkness connections with the Sun.
