Focuses on a predella fragment of 1445 titled The Creation of the World and the Expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise (New York, Metropolitan Museum). Argues that the arrangement of the zodiacal signs and the location of the sun in the cosmological diagram coincide with an established tradition of the thema mundi, an astrological depiction of the Creation of the World. Relates this iconography to doctrine established at the Fourth Lateran Council, and to Church support for theological arguments in favor of the instantaneous Creation.
