For the heraldic devices I just marked St. Christoph am Arlberg since that seemed okay in this context.
If I understood correctly, none of the Hebrew manuscripts can be assigned to anything more specific than a country.

Thank you, Koen!

It seems that the Sarajevo Haggadah can be reliably assigned to Barcelona or at least to Aragon.

From You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., MUHBA, Museu d'Historia de Barcelona:

Quote:Heraldic emblems help to determine the origin of some Haggadot. The presence of the coat of arms with four red pallets on a golden background, the device of the monarchs of the House of Barcelona, places the origin of the Sister, Sarajevo, Kaufmann and Barcelona Haggadot within the Crown’s lands.


From the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.:

Quote:Based on stylistic analysis of the illuminations and miniatures contained in its pages, it was determined that the book was made in mediaeval Spain, in the former kingdom of Aragon, most likely in Barcelona, around 1350. It may have been a present for the wedding of members of two prominent families, Shoshan and Elazar, because their coats of arms – a shield with a rosette/rose (shoshan in Hebrew) and a wing (elazar in Hebrew) – are featured on the page showing the coat of arms of the city of Barcelona.
