Matching planet labels

[ReneZ]

Even purely ornamental in general, it still could have some significance in a certain context.

Undoubtedly they can have a function. I even think that it is more than likely that they mark a start or a break in the text. Looking at the rosettes page (f85v+f86r), one can see that most if not all circles have at least one marker of this or a similar style. At least the central circle has two.

Many other circles in the MS just have a simple line that appears to mark a start or break.
