Based on the heraldic evidence, there is no doubt about the reading "Brug" for the Habsburg city of Brugg. The polemical "pruck" does not exist. Without the path of heraldry, which has been termed "medieval gossip" here, there is no solution to the manuscript. A rethink needs to take place here. The similar-looking Latin reading "primus" is precisely the deception and camouflage for the place name, which is not quite obvious and simple. Herein lies a pointed pitfall.
I am sorry to be quite frank here, but this is one aspect that causes that I cannot take your proposal seriously.
The reading Primus is consistent with other quire marks in the MS and with quire marks in other manuscripts.
Saying that this is deception and camouflage is speculation that is based on nothing.
There may be no doubt in your mind, but there is extreme doubt in the minds of a large number of people.
If one takes one's research seriously (and this goes for everyone!) there has to be an element of doubt about basically all conclusions.
