If the T-O map refers to orientation, then it's possible the suns also are synchronised with the T-O map. In which case, the bottom two continents are reversed.
The top sun would be the dawn in the East (Asia is orientated ontop for this reason, long story short). But if the sun sets in the west, ie over western Europe, then the bottom two continents are reversed. Not that this can be proven, unless someone has an African origin for the book!

Quote:However, I have to admit that I can't explain why each rosette looks the way it does, my idea would just explain the general layout and the two circles at top right and bottom left.
Quote:Note the three tiny connected circles in the one at bottom left, I think these could be the "three lights".

Quote:There's been a paper by Wastl & Feger (not the one Juergen refers to above, but I think the preceding one) analysing the Rosettes page as "mappa mundi" with additional circles for four elements, check it.Yes, this is quite interesting. I'm not sure all of it is correct, but the identification of the Garden of Eden map seems particularly convincing.
Quote:Yes that's a strange image, it always reminds me of the YouTube share symbol. If I remember correctly, someone suggested that it might represent a compass.

Quote:Since the Hebrew alphabet may be written with ball-and-stick elements this symbol may be interpreted to represents the letter resh (ר) which can mean “principal, original, beginning.”
