In my previous interpretation of the Rosettes page, I forgot to mention an important element: the castle or walled city, which can lead to the misconception that all the images we see are terrestrial. I've seen a medieval manuscript depicting a castle in an astronomical representation to indicate the location from which measurements were made. In the Rosettes, the castle is next to a representation of the Earth in the form of a T-O map, and we see how it receives celestial influences.
In the Rosettes we see spheres and we see them displayed on the page, but it is a way of alluding to the concentric spheres of the medieval universe and their interconnections.
