My Queries about the Manuscript

[bi3mw]

I think the origin can best be deduced from the design of the illustrations. When I make stylistic comparisons, I often come to Alsace or the Lake Constance region. This is of course very speculative and far from being proven.
I would not overestimate the swallowtail merlons in this context. One can only safely assume that the author has seen or heard of them. But that does not automatically mean that the VMS was also written in Northern Italy.
