Included on this chart are Scorpio (the Scorpion), Sagittarius (the Archer), Capricorn (the Goat), Serpentarins (the Serpent Bearer) and Taurus (the Bull). Chart is quartered by lines indicating the Solstitial and Equinoctial Colures. This map, like all of Burritt’s charts, is based on the celestial cartographic work of Pardies and Doppelmayr.
