Hi Marco,
the point of the example was primarily to illustrate one case with some pictures.
It is certainly visible in many other illustrated MSs.
I find this example interesting, as it is a case where a drawing is deliberately changed in the process of
making the copy. I use an example from a herbal MSs as I have looked at these more than any other
type of MS, but of course there aren't many buildings in them.
As regards the steep roof, they are very common in central Europe (Northern when seen from
Italy of course ;-) ) and the wider Veneto area.
By the way, there is another type of crenellations in the MS, see this Voyager link:
