Missing Constellations in VM Zodiac

[ReneZ]

The one about the missing pages is an interesting compilation. Above all, it seems that something is missing from all topics.

For me this is also a kind of confirmation that Quire 13 is all mixed up. For me it is actually 2 Quire (2x3 sheets), which leads to the conclusion that a whole sheet is missing.

This is the only way the whole sequence makes sense.

I completely understand what you mean, but in quire 13 there is no gap in the pagination.
If anything was removed, it was before the pages were numbered, so at a completely different time.

Also, a quire of 5 sheets is not really that unusual. Quire 8, of which only two sheets remain, would also have had 5 sheets.

Now it is still possible to speculate a lot... (I deliberately did not want to do that in the earlier post).

The first thing is that f74 is rather likely to have been a foldout.
Why?
Because the other single-sheet quires are all foldouts (the three preceding ones).
That would mean that on the recto there may have been the two missing zodiac signs, and on the verso the start of the biological section....
Of course we do not know this. It is pure guesswork.
