Composite manuscript: Macrobius, Plinius, Nonius Marcellus: excerpts, Latin
A Latin composite manuscript of excerpts from Macrobius, Pliny and Nonius Marcellus, dated around 850 and held by a Swiss library, likely copied for scholarly study in a monastic or cathedral scriptorium. Its pictures are hand-drawn diagrams in brown ink with red accents: a circular cosmological wheel with radiating bands and labelled zones, a geometric circle with crossing lines and lettered points, and a grid of wavy and diagonal red curves on ruled squares, offering a designer simple radial and grid structures to adapt.
