This MS was featured on the BL blog just now, which prompted me to have another look. The Zodiac signs were added early 10th century, England. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
I feel like most of this must have been mentioned before since it's quite a prominent manuscript so I'm probably late to the party, but quite a lot stands out in this series:
- Starts in Capricorn (January) so ends in Sagittarius. So perhaps the VM series used to be like this, but the first months are omitted or lost?
- Animals on rugged terrain
- Lots of blue animals
- Aries and Capricorn have somewhat similar horns, both facing a bush
- Very pronounced dew claws
- Red Taurus with bent, long neck. Horns are clipped by circle.
- Cancer is weird. I'd say it's a double crayfish with their ends joined.
- Scorpio has been replaced by Ophiuchus, suggesting perhaps that it was copied from a more complete astronomical source?
- Fully human Sagittarius, not really aiming.
I guess for this thread the most important question is, how do we interpret the Cancer? Whatever it is, it's not a crab and it's got two faces.
