Geocentric Diagrams, Sun and Moon

Two diagrams, one showing the sun and the moon orbiting Earth in a geocentric or Ptolemaic model of the universe, and the other apparently showing a phase of the moon created by sun and earth alignment. These illuminations date from the last quarter of 13th century (after 1277).
