No text, but a visual code

And there is the Earth at the center of the VMs cosmos. But in the VMs cosmos, as its structure compares to the cosmic diagram of BNF Fr. 565, there are no planets, not even planetary spheres, just stars. Where are the planetary personalities? How does the VMs identify the astrological actors?

The typical cosmic diagram would have some sort of planetary indications, but the VMs is an uncommon example [in the 1400-1450 era] that omits them. [See also Harley 334] The VMs cosmos does not have an astronomical or astrological focus. It might even be called a cosmos that has had that part of its "scientific" focus removed.

Both of the historical texts have good provenance. Both are between 1400-1450. Both are from Paris.
