f67v2 - Some comparisons
#1
Egerton MS 845 (F.21 v) 
Probably just a coincidence, but I thought the top left triangle design and top right cross design (scroll) might be note worthy given the general similarities between the two images in general. The overall layout has quite some similarities also. I can't find scans for this MS anymore, though it was linked on here years ago and noted as "first half of 15c" in 2021.

On a side note - The image also shows up as being part of Harley 2407 which was 15c and contained many later notes by readers, the most famous of which were Dee and Ashmole. 

   

The other is from Micheal Scot - Liber introductorius, which is a very interesting work, and person (if you like rabbit holes) 
This is a 14c copy (around 1320) - You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

The images are regarding eclipses, though I found the general way it was drawn to have some similarities with the VM images, even if the meaning is seemingly different

   

You will be able to find many great images in this MS, if you browse backwards from this page you will find all sorts of great images for planets and zodiac signs, some more relatable to VM than others. 

Bonus merlons and weird sun face for Koen Wink 

   


I don't really have much to claim on these, just thought I'd share and not let it rot in the list of things I'll probably forget about.

Unfortunately most of British library online manuscripts were lost due to a cyber attack. I have contacted them and they couldn’t recover some of the online manuscripts but if you live in the UK the british library allows scholars to view the manuscripts live. 

I just checked and Egerton MS 845 sadly is one of them. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. If you couldn’t find it. Sometimes forum members do have the manuscripts downloaded and can share with us (last time I was looking for a manuscript René Zandbergen did have the manuscript I was looking for and shared with us.

I had wondered where they had all gone. It's so weird people would target this sort of stuff. 
Thanks, Harley 2407 has some great images, good to have a working link. I think the ref I saw might be wrong/broken but not sure

Hard to know when the links don't work
