This is a more interesting find than I first thought - lots of VMSness. Check out the pair of dice on 47v, with corresponding table of letters and numbers. Why would an astronomer need to roll dice?

Thanks Nick.
The page with the dice (f47v) is truly interesting.
The left column goes up to 19 (which of course
is 1523 - 1505 + 1), and so I wonder if there is a
connection with the Table to the left of the
diagram with the spiral, that you were interested in.
Cheers, Rene
