Thanks for the interesting info. If d'Ailly can put both Venus and the Moon in Taurus, then I guess it's open season. That's really going to mess with the patterns, if they double up like that. I'm not much of an astrologer and now I can see why. Not only do the experts disagree, but the sources are also divergent. There is the Macrobius' version with seven planetary - zodiac connections in sequence. And with the Sun in Leo. Then there is also an apparently more religiously influenced construction which has the Sun in Aries. Not sure about the rest of it.
Then there was also the 'Sacrobosco' cosmos with the seven astrological symbols stacked vertically, ostensibly identifying the respective orbits, but not actually connecting the planets to specific zodiac signs. The article mentioned problems of "potential heresy".
Was the 1494 Leipzig cosmos intended to be a Thema Mundi representation or something else? Leipzig is surely based on Macrobius. It used the classical planetary - zodiac connections. It has the Sun in Leo, but seven in a row is not 4-1-1-1 even if five out of the seven are the same. The current info from the historical record shows that the 4-1-1-1 pattern pops up in Leipzig in 1494 in apparent connection with Wenzel Faber. Any connection to the VMs f67r2 is open to speculation and to investigation. Thanks.
