Ah thanks, sorry for the confusion.
Quote:I think the most here agree meanwhile that the center TO circle is a representation of "earth" or "world".
But we just concluded that it was copied from the version that appears in that Oresme book, where its meaning is somewhat different than that of the "standard" T-O map. More like the Cosmos during the Creation? No?
Quote:But this here, f 67v: may also be a TO vignette, maybe with a known preference for green water, the rest is blue air and red soil or so.
The colors are probably not original. If we ignore them, it does not seem possible to tell whether the circle was originally divided by a T. I bet it was undivided, like the other three.
All the best, --stolfi
