To stay with De' Grassi, there's also an example in the well known Casanatense Ms. 459
Historia Plantarum
1395 - 1400
Provenienza: Italia. Lombardia
It's confidently dated to 1395-1400, making it a certain early example. It did take a while before I found an example in this MS, many human figures are workers. The bat-sleeved guy is paired with a monkey.
