Eleven Moon Phases in Folio 86v?

[Dobri]

What's your source for the cardinal direction - angel associations? I've seen this variant before, but without a source. A claim without a source is not worth anything, especially when it disagrees with actual sources.

The earliest source seems to be the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.):
"Just as the Holy One blessed be He created four directions and four banners corresponding to them, so, too, He surrounded His throne with four angels: Mikhael, Gavriel, Uriel, and Refael. Mikhael was to His right..."
"Uriel to his left, corresponding to Dan that was in the north."
"Gavriel before Him, corresponding to the kingdom of Judah, Moses, and Aaron, who were in the east."
"Refael, corresponding to Ephraim. Why was his name called Refael? It was in order to heal [lerapot] the breach of Yerovam, who emerged from Ephraim that is in the west."

Note that the directions are defined relative to somebody facing east. Therefore, the front is east, the back is west, to the left is north and to the right is south.

However, in Christian iconography, Archangel Gabriel seems to be associated with the western direction and is depicted holding one or two items such as a staff, a speech scroll (phylactery), a sceptre, a mirror of jasper with an X, a lily, an olive branch, etc.

If the lunar folio depicts four archangels, then the two objects held by the person on the left-hand side could possibly be in the list of aforesaid items.
