Quote:And also, if these labels are days/degrees, how do we explain the repetition of labels, not only across zodiac labels but also within the same folio? Example: take the Gemini zodiac, the label "okal" occurs as a label in the outer ring twice, and then again as a label in the Sagittarius zodiac.
Thank you for taking the time to write and apologies for leaving the response so late. Astrological tables attempt to convey several different numbers and reference figures. Yes days and degrees are one set of information. There are also golden numbers, days of the week, lunar cycles etc etc I've focused on the degrees and days as they seemed the most likely to bring up sequential numbers which could hopefully be spotted in the astrological folios
Regarding the question of why would other zodiac folios also contain numbers referenced earlier, it depends on the context, they could reference alignments and compliments (conjunctions, oppositions, tines, squares etc). There's no reason for there not to be references to other astrological folios.
