With the calendar there are some astronomical data based on the geocentrism of Ptolemy and are a compendium of the scientific cosmography of the time. Man on Earth is surrounded by the other three basic elements, air, water and fire, each in its conventional white, green and red color. In successive blue circles are the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, and the sky with the 18 stars. The next circle are the dwellings and explanation of the Sun, the Moon and the other planets cited, with classical allegories: the Sun a king, Venus a maiden and so on up to Mars in a warrior. . Next come the denominations and symbols of the 12 divisions of the solar zodiac; superimposed are the 28 signs and names of the mole. The point Aries, vernal point is located to the East. The lunar phases follow, with the new Moon to the North and fills to the South, the waning and increasing mean to the East and West, respectively. This composition recalls the importance of the novilunio of spring and its relation with the first sacred month of the Jews. In addition, it combines the significant orientations, East and North of religious and geographical character. Five circles of the perpetual calendar continue with the Sunday letter to determine the day of the week and 12 months with the number of days. Then there are the astrological characteristics of the 12 signs of the solar zodiac, with Roman divisions of V in V until completing the 12 groups of XXX and, in correspondence with these, other divisions of degree in degree for the 28 lunar signs, there are four quadrants of 900 increasing and decreasing, circumscribed with a legend and explanatory examples. It is easy to check the accuracy of each station. Thus, the Spring in the NE angle is limited by Aries and Cancer, and the corresponding lunar signs Alnatha and Alvatra, includes three divisions of XXX corresponding to Aries, Taurus and Gemini, completed with a 90 ° increasing quadrant. As in other civilizations this would help to enhance the calculation of dates and astrological knowledge of such importance in the Middle Ages.
