History of the World scroll, St. Gallen, Kantonsbibliothek, VadSlg Ms. 1000

Thank you, Koen. The detail you attached is very suggestive. I agree that the combination of rotae and castles is another interesting feature.

I also see some similarity between Giovanni’s diagram of the gates (“porte” of Jerusalem?) and the South-Center rosette. In particular, radially arranged arches with inscribed text. I think we discussed other similar diagrams showing gates in the past.
