Image: Astronomer(s) (Paris, BnF, Français 134 f.169). Source: https://portail.biblissima.fr/ . This medieval illumination depicts a group of three scholars dressed in brightly colored robes and hats, observing a celestial sphere representing the Earth. The Earth is surrounded by stars and a deep blue background, with a detailed depiction of a cityscape on its surface, symbolizing medieval cosmological understanding. The figures stand outdoors amidst foliage, looking thoughtfully at the globe as if discussing astronomical theories. The intricate decorations around the frame and the French script below suggest that the scene comes from a manuscript related to cosmology or geography.
