Zodiac series of University of Pennsylvania LJS 449

Some illustrations have more similarities than others. Some manuscripts are better than others. The tails on Taurus and Leo are good. However, Gemini either being clothed or nude is not a "copying" variation. A few stars in VMs Libra would have helped.

Looking for PA provenance, I take 1446 as the date of production, but don't see a location. Does the text imply the source is German?

These recent examples of Taurus are still falling into pre-1350 or post-1440 with too few examples that might be more immediately pre-VMs.
