[edit] What it needs to be expanded into
- The article I envision resembles Dance Macabre: it has a discussion of the significance of the Wheel in medieval thought, and it gives a few examples of its occurence in artistic works. Slac speak up! 23:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- I've had a crack at this, trying to include its origins, significance in medieval philosophy and use for political and religious instruction, plus a little bit on its use today - while at the same time attempting to keep it distinct from the page on Fortuna. Pictures need adding, there are some good ones here, plus the one on Fortuna's page. Richard of York, 23 July 2006
- I just thought I would point out that Rota Fortuna does not mean Wheel of Fortune; it doesn't actually mean anything, except maybe, the wheel, fortune. Wheel of Fortune would be Rota Fortunae (or, as in the collapsed form given in the quotation from Carmina Burana, Rota Fortune).76.68.81.223 (talk) 03:45, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
