I think it's consistent with the humanist movement to remove the deity from the vehicle.... [deleted for brevity]
Maybe it's a hint at the movement to which our scribe belongs?

Of note is the Ghibelline merlons on the rosettes page. If they are not intended as landmarks, then they may symbolically represent the anti-papists (those in support of the Holy Roman empire or those who were simply against he power of the Pope or perhaps religion in general). The Guelphs supported the Pope.

I was sort of mixing metaphors in what I was saying. I was using the meaning of Temperence that goes with Sophrosyne, but the rainbow as the one which gets ridden by gods, rather than the one from the cards
