Page: f72r2 Title: "Gemini"

Description:

Three concentric rings of text, bounded by faint mechanically drawn
circles. A short radial stroke at 10:30 in the inner ring may be the
starting place.

In the centre there are two:uman figures, apparently a man and a woman,
holding each other:ands---left in left, below, and right in right, above.
The man wears a wide:at, a shirt with long narrow sleeves,
ring collar, simple belt, a skirt with trimmed edge reaching below the knee,
and boots. The woman wears an elaborate draped dress, with ring collar,
broad sleeves with wrist bands, a small bonnet with long:air or a veil
hanging down:er back, and a skirt that drags on the floor. Between
the two figures is a word in the latin alphabet (``Jony'' according to
Robert Firth.

Between the inner ring of text and the middle ring are 9 naked
human figures or "nymphs", all female, each standing with the
right:and on:er:ip,:olding a star with:er left.

Between the middle ring and the outer ring there are 16 nymphs,
standing, each:olding a star with the left:and. Four are clothed,
the rest is naked. Most are definitely women (with visible breasts);
the rest are probably women, or could be. Three of the figures two
of them clothed) are standing on top of:orizontal cylinders,
resembling the ones on f70v2. Usualy the right:and is resting on
the:ip, but in a couple of cases the right arm is drooping by the
victim's side, or straight down and back, and one figure (at 04:00)
has the arms streched out:orizontally.

Standing on top of the diagram, outside the text circle, are another 5
naked women, right:and on the:ip, each:olding a star.

All figures are drawn in 3/4 view, between frontal and clockwise-facing.
Some of the figures are walking. Some of the figures:ave:ats.

Clockwise from each figure there is a short label.

Comments:

The sign of Gemini, the Twins,:as sometimes been represented by a
man and woman. Gemini is ??? to ???.
