I don't know how many images of Pisces you saw in a Google search, 20? 40? 200?, but I have been collecting full zodiacs for many years and have more than 500, and there are a number of Pisces images that are similar, not many, but some.
The one that MarcoP brought to our attention, one that I had overlooked even though I had seen the manuscript, was the fish in SachsenSpiegel (a law book). It is not specifically associated with a zodiac, but very similar to the VMS drawing.
Also, I noticed you referenced Wikipedia. I hope you realize that quite a lot of the content on Wikipedia has come from the blogs of people on this forum. I've noticed a number of passages that are only slightly reworded from things various of us have posted online. Many people who edit Wikipedia (which is thousands) are not specifically acquainted with the materials they are transcribing. They are doing Google searches and basically consolidating what they locate—not all are experts.
