Sleeve focus thread
#91
Sorry for the off-topic: nothing to add about sleeves.
The illustration in the manuscript pointed out by arca_libraria You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. seems to me a good parallel also in terms of layout. 
  • The large zodiac medallion at the center of the page.
  • Text running around the circle as a frame to the figure.
  • The presence of "decorative" astral bodies (sun, moon and a constellation). While stars often appear on the bodies of zodiac figures, as more or less accurate hints to their original link with constellations, here the astral bodies appear in a larger, concentric circle, outside the central frame. This is vaguely comparable both with the stars held by the "nymphs" and with the stars inside a few medallions (Pisces, Virgo, Scorpio). The visual similarity is not as strong as the other two points above, but this arrangement is something rather unique.
