Thanks VV. It's interesting to see that Nick also thinks there may be a link between not only the Moon and the Sun quartet, but also the ones on f57v. His conclusion seems to be, however, that nothing much is known so far. And this does make sense:
Also, you may actually be right about the sowing, it's hard to see. Someone quoted by Nick actually interpreted the whole thing as a square object held by the nymph - which seems the least likely to me.
Quote:If you strip away the decorative ‘papellony’-style fish-scale detailing from f86v4, you end up with two circular diagrams side by side, one with a sun at the centre, the other with a moon at the centre. I honestly find it hard to believe that something so distinctive arrived here ex nihilo: this pair must surely have come from a prior document somewhere.
