Examples of connected dots? - Koen G - 22-02-2022
There are a few examples of connected dots/circles in the VM, one on the Rosettes foldout and four on f67v. We don't know if the examples on both folios represent the same thing.
I am wondering which parallels for these have been found. If I recall correctly, there are two main categories: magical writing and celestial bodies.
The examples of magical writing I know of are in Hebrew manuscripts or later traditions based on them, and they postdate the VM. Does anyone know of pre-1450 examples?
An alternative is constellations. I remember we discussed this on the forum once, but I am unable to find it. It is similar to this MS, though it uses asterisk-style stars instead of circles.

I labelled the constellations. It seems that especially Taurus and Capricorn are similar to the thing on the Rosettes foldout, but I don't know if this would be generally recognized.
