Thans, Marco. It's a shame that there are so few crossbow Sagittarii from the early period, this means that our dating necessarily relies on little more than one family of images. Still it is interesting that the two earliest examples fall within the same three decades. Cod.Sang.827 even has the same kind of fashion.
Going by the archer's dress, I would also think the other MS (cod. 1842) could be of the late 14th century, but the catalogue page seems convincing.
JKP: do you think any specific aspects point to a certain date range more so than others?
