There is a chance that the words in the outer circle correspond to the 12 astrological houses. The following is Claude.ai’s transcription from a random book with a list of the houses (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.,1681). In square brackets, the labels from the ms wheel, with month names for reference.
Most of the words in the outer circle of the Barcelona diagram appear to be Latin, but the match with the astrological houses is really minimal, so it’s possible that the meaning is something entirely different. The best matches could be Death and Faith (houses 8 and 9) that seem to appear consecutively also in the Barcelona wheel (“morimus”? And “fidus/fides”, at the bottom). But there should be a single house for sons and daughters, while here we have two labels for “filius” (son) and “filia” (daughter) in opposite sectors of the wheel. “Sedens” (sitting) is a legitimate Latin word, but it doesn’t fit with the houses. “Allur”, “Mefabus” and “Fent” are totally opaque to me.
