Here's a public domain image picture suitable for use as Zenopus: The Astrologer by Albrecht Durer from "the title page of the De scientia motus orbis" (1504), per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashallah_ibn_Athari
I believe the classic blue wizard's robe with stars and planets such as seen on the Holmes Basic box cover comes from astrologer/astronomer wear.
(Gerald Williams who got me looking at Durer again)
Nice. I want that chair.
ReplyDeleteI think Zenopus is charting the course of totality of an eclipse. : )
