Anton: I do see some parallels with the VM circles, even though the contents are clearly different. I wonder if more of such images existed.
Has anything like this been found before? A personification of an abstract concept in a central disk, surrounded by a circular row of labelled human figures.
If this is relevant - and that's a big if - it could be that the VM illustrator used this layout to display information about the month (abstract figure) and its stars (circles of humans).
I must add that this reminded me most of the months where the VM figures are few, clothed and painted - that is especially white Aries.
