Well, it seems that almost everyone has a completely different theory of the page. I don't know what we can conclude from that, whether that is due to a desire to have one's own unique interpretation of the page or a general level of confusion on the subject. To me, it has so many map-like characteristics that I tend to conclude it is a map rather than something else pretending to be a map.
I will try to find that resource for you Mark. It didn’t have illustrations, just talked about it, but following footnotes might take me to examples.
I never thought it was a map. To me it was always a depiction of the author’s cosmogony/worldview serving as an index to the other parts of the manuscript. But I agree it has many map-like features including geological and geographical. Still, off the top of my head, Dante did something similar to what I think this diagram is intending to accomplish.
