What we see now makes sense in terms of the
order of the illustrations. Alternative bindings
imply that the page numbering is wrong, the 
quiration is wrong and the order of the zodiac
is messed up. 
Saying that there might be an alternative is
not really helping us. A specific alternative 
could be assessed, to see how it 'improves'
things (e.g. by putting Aries at the start after all).
After all, there are only so many distinct ways
of folding and binding the quires.

Cheers, Rene
