Hello Philip,
Would it be possible to make the more complete folio available via the
Internet? Thank you for your assistance.

This looks plausible and is very interesting if true. I have
often thought
that some of these star circle diagrams look like the
designs on an
astrolable.

There are two different images of this page out there: one
of the Beinecke
colour images which
unfortunately cuts off part of the
rim, and the corresponding no-ip image
which is rougher but shows the
whole page. Between them you can see most of
the markings. I tried to
combine the two into a single transcription this
morning but it is a
tremendously fiddly task.
