Quote:The only 'fifteen' set that comes immediately to mind is the "fifteen stars" which were the standard basic list of fixed stars taught in medieval Europe.
Also known as the Behenian stars.

Quote:one of the forms which regularly separates a first character from the rest of a line is number or letter as itemisation, but another in medieval manuscripts is verse.
Yes, but here, beside this leftmost column, we have also another column - that comprised of individual glyphs (except air - which, by the way, was suggested by lelle to represent a single character due to this very nature of that column).
