Abstract
The Natuurkunde van het Geheelal in Wolfenbüttel, which was made in Utrecht around 1465–1470 is a text about celestial bodies and meteorological and natural phenomena. Most copies of this text are clarified by astronomical drawings and diagrams. The manuscript in Wolfenbüttel, however, also contains miniatures with the personifications of the seven planets and the signs of the zodiac. The author’s aim is to find the source of inspiration for the unusual pictures of the planets in particular, and also for the signs of the zodiac.
《wolfenb特尔的Natuurkunde van het Geheelal》于1465年至1470年左右在乌得勒支制作,是一本关于天体、气象和自然现象的书。这本书的大部分抄本都用天文图和图表加以说明。然而,在wolfenb特尔的手稿中,也包含了七个行星的拟人化和黄道十二宫的标志的微缩模型。作者的目的是寻找灵感的来源,特别是行星的不寻常的图片,也为黄道十二宫的标志。
