No doubt there are Saggitarius examples similar to that seen in the VMS if
one looks hard enough. Correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to recall that Rene

Was is related to a manuscript know to Queen Isabela? Sorry, but I really don't
recall for sure.

celestial map with Sagittarius using a crossbow?' query.
