Why the rosettes image may not be a map at all

[MarcoP]

I would like to add that I only interpreted the lower-left diagram as a map. This was suggested to me by the visual similarity with XV century maps (in particular the Martellus map). I have no definite opinion on the meaning of the page as a whole. I agree on the interpretation of the central canopy as the sky.



I also think that the analysis by Juergen and Danielle is not strictly in terms of a World map, but more of a cosmograph, since 4 of the 9 "rosettes" are interpreted as representing the four elements.
