Marco,
There's a Swabian crossbow Sagittarius in post #103 of this thread from nablator re: BSB Cgm 28.
The interesting thing there is the hat. Very similar to your listing dated 1474-75 Ludwig- Max UL. They have the same pointy brims. However, throughout the range of the other images, there are *no hats* and then there is the VMs archer's hat. A large and rather conspicuous hat. What's the info on hats???
While it may be redundant to some, it seems relevant to combine the "sleeves" investigation with this discussion, when we can combine with the Sagittarius images that are before 1450, specifically Cod. Sang. 827. While the manuscript itself is in the library at St. Gall, provenance apparently puts the origin in the area of Lake Constance. And the south side is Switzerland.
At the same time as the Cod. Sang. 827, there is a Swiss (1427) version of Speculum Humanae Salvationis, BKS Cod. membr. 8, with an interesting fashion depiction. What can I say?? Only a Swiss Absalom would be caught dead in bagpipe sleeves. The image is an archetype. It further substantiates the occurrence of this fashion trend at this place and time. It also fits the C-14, while much more happened later.
Other versions of Absalom, (1400-1450)
