Register or Login to view.I have a somewhat different conception of the rosettes page in that I believe it is primarily based on natural philosophy but layered with religious imagery (or vice versa). To me, the outer circles are details - or spheres - of the inner middle circle, the cosmos. The top row is celestial, the bottom row underworld, and the left and right second row is terrestrial.I can't make a long detailed answer now, so I just will express my short thought concerning this issue.
I have thought recently the Rosettes diagram could be divided into left and right. The left side - death, darkness; the right side - life, light. This division was accepted in some cultures, the same as "left - evil, feminine, wet" and "right - good, masculine, hot". Also I suppose that the top right and bottom right rosettes are emitters, but the opposite corner rosettes are receptors. The first ones direct their erupting "volcanoes" to the opposite rosettes-receptors: the bottom left one is attended by some opening with a pipe-like outlet, the upper left one - by four pipes. And yes, it is not obvious, but there must be the reason why the right corner rosettes are equipped with "volcanoes", but the left ones have pipe-like objects. I think this detail makes those pairs resemble.
