There seem to be quite a few spirals in the VMS which were apparently of
interest to the author of the manuscript, perhaps somehow correlated to spirals
also seen in some flowers, though this may just be wild speculation. I sense
that possibly flowers are compared to stars, who knows?

Here's a nice XVe siècle copy of Barthélemy
l’Anglais's 'Liber de proprietatis rerum':

Not
quite f68v3, but... it's a galactic spiral (spyral?), nonetheless (or it could
be the
sun?).
