Why the rosettes image may not be a map at all

[EllieV]

Whatever the meaning of the diagram, the presence of all these tents seems to be a meaningful tract of it.

Hi Marco,

I actually talked to expert about the tent possibility. His opinion was that it is unlikely - he had never seen 15th century tents being drawn from this perspective - from above. He also noted that the ropes with knots are tied backwards : Personally, I keep in mind the tents as possibility, but it could be related also to rosette windows as architectural element (I've seen the windows being discussed. I apologize, I don't remember where and by whom)

I agree that the rosettes illustration looks like a map. A map of processes or a map of the cosmos.
What I am not convinced of is that it is a map in the geographical sense.

Hi Rene,

Charts with philosophical representation of the world often include the cardinal directions and other geographical map elements(winds etc). I agree that the 9-rosette maybe more that just a geographical map.
