The "moon section" on f86vr also has a figure with a head band and wing/leaf/feather shaped things on side of head. It could just be hair, like on the sun example.
Anyway, my first guess was it had something to do with Hermes as the image to the left seemed to have something to do with lightning (though "lines coming from hand painted yellow" might also be anything) and I took the band to have wing-like shapes initially.
Anyway, I just remembered this that I saw back then while looking at sun/moon pool/fountain examples of the time. No band or hair unfortunately, but a full face on the crescent moon, and it just so happens to be "You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.: N7: The master, "Hermes" instructs five pupils how to make silver and gold." .. also from the right time and German. Probably nothing to do with anything, this stuff is way out of my lane but thought it ticked some boxes and can't hurt to share.

EDIT - Ah, I thought there was a better example in here that I remembered. Moon with .. more or less a "head" and a neck scarf(?)

EDIT 2.. It seems this image was somewhat popular, unless I just happened to find 2 in 5 manuscripts, still no suns unfortunately
