The Rosette folio and Aristotle's Meteorologica
#6
>>Thanks David for your response. Did you find it nice (only) or also convincing? 
I am convinced of your potential. ;-)

>> have a look at the previous paper
Where or which one?

>>Original Greek text source
Yes, the exact transliteration from the original text as original as possible.  I want to see how it is formulated.
But if you have an image that is difficult, ok.

>>Classical Elements versus physical Elements ("matter" - essay You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.). 
I will read that paper as well.  But I am not a big fan of the basic elements as explanation because they are too loose, too general and will not lead to more or new information towards the text directly, because almost every author in medieval times wrote about the basic elements.
I am walking through specific authors in a specific area of research and trying to discover everything about them and their surroundings. Gradually you get a feeling for the period, knowledge and general essence of the time, circumstances and interests. It leads nowhere but it is a lot of fun. Most scholars are also very keen on sharing information and that is also satisfying.

>>NB: What do you make of the turbo/whirlwind comparison with R. Fludd (Cosmic Meteorology) with the Rosette text spiral?
Hm. Between 1617 and 1621 the English physician and polymath Robert Fludd published his masterwork Utriusque Cosmi, a book split into two volumes and packed with over 60 intricate engravings.

You must like the sentence "the whirlwind turneth it self in a round compass". and the images, for example of Robert Plot of a tornado.

Looking forward to share more information.
