I do believe that small sketch of a volvelle holds some kind of meaning related to the Rosettes spheres.
The central sphere—that of the fixed stars—communicates with four others. In reality, it communicates with all of them, but it does so directly with those four through different symbols. What is significant is that communication with the two central spheres—on the left and right—takes place via those groupings of three repeated lines visible on the small volvelle.
This is no coincidence; it holds some kind of significance. We have seen that those lines represent the degrees of the sphere, each with a value of 15 degrees—equivalent to one hour of time. Therefore, what those very lines in the rosettes signify is time—the passage of time—given that it is the spheres of the medieval universe that mark time through their movement.
