Same cosmic pattern, slightly different printed text. Also has labels.
There is a lot of handwriting in this example, I wonder what it says. I cannot make out a single word (my Latin is rudimentary, my German is almost non-existent).

While it is possible to put all the planets in their primary houses, that does not create the 'four in a row' pattern. Meanwhile, the Leipzig editions have the desired pattern, but they are from the end of the 15th century and early 16th, rather than in the first half of the 15th. We'll see what else turns up.
It is possible, I've listed two example configurations like this in the image above, taken from my text, but all domicile configurations that do not create a 4 in a row pattern create something that cannot happen in the sky: they put Mercury farther from the Sun than it can get (maximum angle between the Sun and Mercury is 28°, if I remember correctly, and one Zodiac sign is 30° wide). This fact was well known to astronomers since Zodiac was defined in its present 12x30° form.
As a non-essential pedantic side note: this would be different if we talked about houses, like modern Placidus house system, as defined in the XVIII century, or maybe some intermediate version based on old Hellenic houses. Since houses are of unequal widths, it is barely possible for Mercury and the Sun to be two houses apart. But the diagrams in all editions of Sacrobosco clearly refer to Zodiac signs and domiciles and not to a house system. And I haven't found any visible indication of any house chart patterns in f67r2 chart either.
