I wanted to post a new tread and have as many readers as possible looking for additional examples.
In postings #30 and #31 (It's bigger.) of the thread 'Those umbrella/pinecone things', MarcoP has posted an illustration:
Vatikan, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Pal. lat. 412, Wynandus de Stega, Adamas colluctancium aquilarum — XV Century.
This illustration has an example of an elaborated nebuly line across the middle. Now, for those who have followed this line of investigation, there are a number of good examples of elaborated nebuly lines in blue and white to represent a cloud band. And those who have examined the details of how these patterns were drawn will see a line that is generally smooth and undulating.
Now contrast this with the illustration above, where the line that is used to compose the nebuly line is very jagged. In terms of heraldic examples, this line is mostly of the engrailed / invected type, with small sections that are much like the wavy definition.
Now compare this with the detailed construction of the elaborated nebuly line in the VMs Central Rosette. The description of the line composing the nebuly line has to be that it is of the engrailed / invected type, with small wavy sections. It is the same! It is unusual. Is it unique or not? More evidence appreciated.
Wynandus de Stega, the Latinized version of Winand von Steeg, a German cleric, (1371-1453) - no difficulties there.
