I shared five manuscript examples, including the original Bellifortis from 1405 (Gottingen Cod. Ms. Philos. 63) and a later copy (Codex FB 32009), as well as other manuscripts (not Bellifortis): Vienna ONB Cod. 3067; Munich Cgm 595; and BSB Cgm 312, which vary in date of creation from 1405 through 1450/1473 - though they were all created in a radius under 200 km in Bavaria - in no order: Eichstatt, Augsburg, Ingolstadt, Swabia / Eastern Swabia, and Tyrol (Austria).
I am very interested to see if anyone has more examples of the zodiac signs (especially those depicting classical planets) framed by text within a circle - in any manuscript - and if they are from this location.
Are they limited to this specific area? Prove me right / wrong. Thanks!
Including two images from the blog post.
All the best,
Sherri
If you search for zodiac on the forum, you'll find the thread Eggyk is running. He has an entire spreadsheet where he and the community have been contributing. It's up to a couple hundred .
