Manuscript You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (England, 2nd half of the 15th century) and its later copy You are not allowed to view links.

The center of this diagrams is a synthetic scheme of the sky (I cannot identify one of the three components, but the other two clearly are the Sun and the Moon). Edit: the third element apparently is M[ercury], thanks to Helmut!

The seven planets and the four elements are represented around the central circle.
Edit: an outer circle represents the signs of the zodiac, thanks to Helmut!
