| Description |
English: Science, and particularly geometry and astronomy/astrology, was linked directly to the divine for most medieval scholars. The compass in this 13th century manuscript is a symbol of God's act of Creation. God has created the universe after geometric and harmonic principles, to seek these principles was therefore to seek and worship God.

XIII. mendeko eskuizkribu honetan konpasa Jainkoaren Sorkuntzako egintzaren sinboloa da. Jainkoak unibertsoa printzipio geometriko eta harmonikoen bidez sortu zuen, printzipio horiek aztertzea Jainkoa aztertzea eta gurtzea zen.
