My intent was to indicate that French illustrations provide good examples of asterisk stars, not to propose French exclusivity of use.
In the cosmic investigation, both BNF Fr. 565 and Harley 334 use asterisk stars, while the stars of the VMs cosmos are polygonal. This is one of the examples where objects in the VMs cosmos are represented by visually differing, yet equivalent objects to those found in the historical illustrations. Likewise, the Earth in BNF and Harley is a pictorial representation, while the VMs version is linguistic. The objects represented are ostensibly equivalent, but the two representations versus the VMs are completely different visually.
