I see this circling around, so…This is from a hand-written manuscript “La Sphere du Monde” by Oronce Fine. It represents the Geocentric (Ptolemaic) model of the universe.BUT in 1543 the Copernican Revolution appeared (but it wasn’t accepted for about two centuries). This is enough for the beginning. Just wanted to clear things up a bit. I’ll post more about  both models in near future.Thanks for the idea, guys! There was no astronomy on Medium Aevum.kabroder:Well this is interesting.  I hadn’t seen one like this before.  The earth is surrounded by air and then fire, and then the moon, sun, planets and stars.  Kind of odd how the sun and le feu are separate spheres.  I don’t know a lot about Medieval astronomy, unfortunately.  More for me to look into, I suppose.historyis:Astronomy - 1549. -- source link
