Zodiacho

¶ Un cerchio imaginato da gram savi
Zodiaco chiamato ivi si pone
Nel qual . xii . signi boni e pravi
Revolger fano cum multa rasone
Homini bestie piante pisci e navi
Par ch’abino a sentir lor conditione
Per ciascum volgie il sole un mese intero
E sei di loro a ciascun emispero

Li signi e lor conplexion .

¶ Sum l’ariete leo et sagittario
De natura di fuoco caldo e secco
Il Cancro e scorpio e pisce per contrario
Humidi e freddi sono e posto il becco
Et virgo e tauro e contrario ad aquario
Perche ciascun de loro e freddo e secco
E capricorno e humido e caldo e cusi libra
E quel che dui germani inseme vibra

Septe Spiere saturno

¶ Poi sum septe pianete in septe spere
L’un dopo l’altro giu de giro in giro
Saturno e primo di quelle lumiere
Che’n vista par oriental zefiro
Le lor proportione sum cosse vere
Che ne po veder prova ciascun viro
Per numeri e mesure senza busia
Come ne mostra chiaro astrologia

[image, left margin at ¶ 1:] Diagram of a sphere, pen-drawn and tinted with a blue wash. Superimposed atop the sphere, running diagonally from 10 o’clock to 4 o’clock, is a bar divided into six sections, labelled and tinted as follows (upper left to lower right): “Aries” (red), “Taurus” (yellow), “Gemini” (blue), “Cancer” (blue), “Leo” (red), “Virgo .” (yellow).

[image, bas de page:] Diagram consisting of concentric circles surrounding a central sphere. The sphere, tinted grey and labelled “Terra”, is surrounded by a green-tinted band labelled “Aqua”, itself surrounded by a blue-tinted band labelled “Aria”, itself surrounded by a red-tinted band labelled “Fuocho”. The whole sits within seven concentric circles, in ink, labelled (innermost to outermost): “luna”, “mercurio”, “venus”, “Sole”, “marti”, “Giove”, “Saturno”. The circles for “mercurio”, “venus”, “marti”, “Giove”, and “Saturno” each bear an eight-pointed star, tinted yellow; the circles for “Sole” and “luna” bear, respectively, the sun in splendour (tinted yellow) and a crescent moon (tinted blue).
