description: Capellan Planetary Theory: Appearing in two forms, both fairly elaborate, the diagram includes a number of aspects of planetary motion. The much more common form, labeled "apsides" in the catalogue, includes the planetary apsides as described in Capella's text, which appear as tumors (bumps) on the planetary paths. The alternative and more infrequent form, labelled "rectus ascensus", does not include apsides and shows the paths of the planets to be combinations of vertical lines on the sides and connecting arcs at top and bottom of the diagram. Both forms display Venus and Mercury as circumsolar intersecting paths. Both forms locate the earth away from the center of the diagram. Neither form represents a section of Capella's text; both are combinations of many elements of Capella's text. This diagram always appears as a large image, dominating the page. If it appears in combination with a group of other diagrams, appended to Capella's text, the "planetary theory" diagram is much larger than any other single diagram on the page.

description: Circumsolar Concentric: An arrangement with Venus and Mercury on concentric circles around the Sun. In this type of diagram the usual order has Venus on the outer circle and Mercury on the inner circle, while the Sun appears either on an arc or on its full circle. The earth may or may not appear as the body around which the Sun revolves. This diagram may or may not include further planetary circles or the zodiacal circle. The diagram is not connected to any other planetary diagram in the way that the elements of the "Three versions" are connected. One unusual version (version x) shows Venus on an oval and Mercury on a circle, with the oval cutting the circle on both sides, longitudinally, with respect to the Sun. See description and text for "Three versions" (above).

description: Absque Libra: The diagram simply uses a vertical line to demarcate the beginning of the sign of Libra and then shows the Sun at mid-latitude before entering the sign while showing the Sun one half a degree above and below its previous latitude after entering Libra. Four horizontal parallels, equally spaced, are cut by a vertical line. To the left of the vertical there appears a small circle in the middle space formed by the four parallels. To the right of the vertical there appear two small circles, one bisected by the second parallel down, the other bisected by the third parallel down. These two circles to the right of the vertical are placed with the upper circle distinctly to the left of the lower circle. On the right side of the vertical line there appears above the four parallels the letter "L". Below the top parallel, to the right of the vertical line, is the phrase from the text, "absque Libre confinio", or some variant of this.

description: Circumsolar Intersecting: An arrangement with Venus and Mercury on intersecting circles around the Sun. In this type of diagram Venus usually appears on the outermost circle in the pattern, producing the resultant planetary sequence from the Moon outward: Mercury -- Venus - Sun -- Mercury -- Venus. The two intersecting circles are usually about the same size, although the circle of Venus may be significantly larger than that of Mercury. The Sun may appear either on an arc or on its full circle. The earth may or may not appear as the body around which the Sun revolves. This diagram may or may not include further planetary circles or the zodiacal circle.

description: Circumsolar Pendant: An arrangement with Venus and Mercury each located on a part of a pendant circle or oval or other closed curve. The pendant for each planet is formed by the truncation of the top, or outside, of a closed curve (circle or other) by the path of the Sun. In this arrangement the pendant of Mercury usually hangs lower, bringing this planet closer than Venus to the earth. The Sun may appear either on an arc or on its full circle. The earth may or may not appear as the body around which the Sun revolves. This diagram may or may not include further planetary circles or the zodiacal circle.

description: Condicione Partium: For the text (VIII.880) the central object is the sphere of the Sun, with the five lines on either side representing solar rays, which obscure the planet Mercury except when it is sufficiently elongated from the Sun to be visible while the Sun is below the horizon. Either an oval or a circle has attached to its exterior two groups of lines more or less opposed to each other. The number of lines in each group is usually five. The lines may be horizontal or they may be inclined to the central oval/circle. A few examples make these lines wavelike. Within each group the lines are close to parallel and do not appear as segments of lines radiating from a center. These lines never cross the central oval/circle. Outside the diagram and not involved in any part of the diagram itself is the label, "condicione partium", or "condicione", or no label at all. In some cases additional clarification is made by adding a labeled circle for Mercury on either side of the sun's rays.
