I sent an email to the protein gal about the possibility of bison vellum and never got a response.

All I am asking is that you tell me by what name the pangolin was known in medieval Europe. No need to find another medieval depiction of this animal. Just the name would do. The point is that for you or others to suggest that the depicted animal could be a pangolin you should provide evidence that such an animal (which did not live in Europe) was known to Europeans. Back then, people did not travel as freely as they do today, and they would have to cross the Muslim world (where Christians were unpopular) to reach the pangolins. Note that I do not have to do the same for the Americas because the armadillo was a commonplace native animal.
