Could it be that the nymphs are sorted in the following manner:
So the nymphs represent the different stages of a woman's life, according to houses of the moon (the 28 mansiones lunae), the zodiacs and the lucky numbers and lucky years for each person born under a specific constellation (the guldene zahl in 14-15th century astrology)?
One of the circular diagrams might also represent the calculation of the sunday number (Sonntagszahl) and how that affects the leap year (Schaltjahr and Schaltjahrzbuchstaben).
These were all standard divinatory practices in the 1400s.
- Nude, in buckets: birth and/or childhood
- Nude, outside of buckets: children
- Clothed: adult
