Let's rate some bulls

 Maybe the MS being Hebrew somehow has to do with conservative copying from the exemplar?

The hebrew manuscripts do seem to be in their own bubble in some respects. Unfortunately we don't have too many from the first half of the 15thC, but I know the ones from the 13th-14th centuries were using traditions different to "normal" german examples. 

For example, the use of just a bow (no shooter) for sagittarius, a weird scorpio (normally a turtle) and common mixing of aquarius and capricorn into a single illustration (or having aquarius simply be "a bucket") is something we see in hebrew manuscripts but not really in other non-hebrew works from the same time and place. 

So it wouldn't entirely surprise me if they were less likely to copy the german manuscripts around them, instead choosing to source from their own traditions where they could.
