Register or Login to view.Hi Searcher, whence is the diagram that's the first one in this thread, and what's the meaning behind it?Unfortunately, I can't find the source of that diagram (I'm surprised, maybe, a not fortunate day), but I found a similar diagram in theYou are not allowed to view links.

Date d'édition : 1320-1325). It differs by style, but, I think, the meaning is absolutely equal.
Quote:I find the tidal explanation of f67v2 problematic. The symbol in the centre is definitely NOT the Earth, the Earth is consistently depicted with a T-O map in the VMS more than once. We also see a T-O map in the low left corner, which suggests that not only the low left corner is the Earth, but that also all other circular corners are Earth as well (only the artist was lazy to make them T-O maps).Again, the MS Francais 574 (Image du monde) may be an example that it is not necessarily the Earth to be represented in the form of T/O map along the whole manuscript. On my view, it depends on the context. Every picture is provided to show any separate aspect or group of aspects.
Quote:I think it should be borne in mind that any diagram in this book would probably bear some practical importance. If it is shown to depict tides, then that means that tides are important in practice, which moves the location of the authorship to some coastal region.Actually, medieval healers believed that lunar influence on the tides also causes the internal tides, especially it was important for blood-letting.
