15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?
The book is certainly interesting, but as a reverence for the battlements and the time for the VM more than ambiguous.
Every time I read more closely, too great differences are visible, or exactly not visible.
For example, in Croatia he describes the city of Ragusa (now Dubrovnik).
I cannot recognize any of these battlements. Maybe before the earthquake?

Other cases are also very questionable if we take the time of the VM (1400-1450) as a basis.
