The crossbow in Sagittarius appears to be a topic of fairly high specificity, and it would be interesting to bring together a summation of current information. A list of relevant references - like the 'sleeves' investigation. Perhaps newer examples can be added to previous investigations.
As to the origins of the phenomenon, as above, current data leans Germanic. As to the extent of potential influence, that remains to be seen. Surely there were Germanic influences in Paris when Isabeau of Bavaria was Queen of France (d. 1435). Germanic artistic influences might cover an area from Paris to Prague to Vienna and Switzerland etc.
Furthermore, if the collation of various artistic investigations, particularly those that are synchronous with the parchment C-14 results, can be put together with those that are historically and culturally relevant, it will be apparent that the VMs artist was influenced by a growing number of independent sources and <apparently> lived during their confluence.
A lot of crossbows here, a few with fair detail, but not one in Sagittarius.
