I photographed many additional examples on buildings in Verona during my recent Italy trip, but I haven't yet been able to take the time to determine which are early enough to warrant being added to Koen's map. During my December break, that is on my list of things to do.
AS NOTED in post #298, the flags and the shield on the crow's-nest to the right appear to show rough versions of the Visconti serpent - in case someone missed it.

That's a cool example, it looks like it is in the tradition of the Limbourg brothers, but much later. Unfortunately a bit too late to be relevant for the VM.

"Sanders Bening, who was in charge of the work on the Grimani Breviary, was in possession of almost all the drawings made for miniatures and decoration of the manuscripts made before 1484, and formerly attributed to a so-called Master of Mary of BurgundyOffsite Link

That's a good find! I'll add it to the map when I'm home.

I am currently working on the dissemination of language and culture on the north-south axis. On the paths of the secondary passes. Now Via Claudia and Via Mala. I think there's a lot more to come.

It's also interesting to see what else you can find on the routes.

I'll have to ask. According to which criteria was (Caffa) Genoese fortress in Crimea included?

There is nothing and there was nothing, and I couldn't find anything either. So why?
