Register or Login to view.stellar, that's absolutely speculative, but I doubt that we will find names for constellations, stars, zodiacs in VMS (except for obvious ones, such as moon or sun). I also think that author's principle could be "the picture of the object is its name", that's why there is no text near zodiac pictures. I even can imagine situation when there is no name of the plant on a page with that plant, and labels in the manuscript are not names, but rather properties of objects drawn.

I don't follow you correctly enough.  Through out the 12 diagrams of the Zodiac with the Nymphs is that what you are referring to?  There is a system to my method.  Check out this image of the Pleiade.

Stellar, I doubt if that's a "4" glyph in 8oar9. There's no definite descender and it's positioned differently from every other "4" in the manuscript, which means the number has to be changed.


Also, how do you justify the interpretation of Pleiades? I know it's been suggested by others, but there's no proof yet and there are other constellations that are represented by seven stars, and our solar system (moon, sun, earth, and four planets) was represented with seven in those days. Also, you didn't interpret the same word-token to be Taurus as others which means you need to explain your choice.
