Mark: please re-read my post. The location to put on the map is where the manuscript is produced. I even used bold text.
I know there are two sets of battlements, but that doesn't matter here: the VM is one (1) pre-1450 manuscript that depicts swallowtail merlons. We don't know where the manuscript was made though, so we cannot put it on the map. But the manuscript layer of the map shows where other manuscripts meeting these criteria were produced, which is why I like it so much.
Scarecrow: yes that looks great. I don't think the manuscript you linked is the correct one though. The image is from a manuscript produced in the south of Italy (without looking further into it, I suspect this will be in or around Naples). This should link to the folio: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
