To point 5.
In fact, it could also be a palace. But as the construction stages show, it used to be much smaller.
The norm: residential tower approx. 1-2 storeys. Later a wall around it. Is it already a castle now? The beginnings were in the 900th century. What happened until the 1400th century? It is quite clear that it was a castle in the beginning.
Further, I know there are none north of the Alps before 1500, but how far east I can only guess. But from a political point of view, I would draw the line here. (picture).
As for the roofs, they were everywhere.
With the masts. Be careful between old flags and weather masts and modern lightning conductors.
Hi, Aga,
the line of the battlements in the present day Slovenia was not as straight as you imagine. The war of Welfs was going on for centuries and it had great effect on the medieval Slovenian speaking lands. It also had a lot to do with the Old Church Slavonic liturgy that was pronounced heretical by German bishops and with the 'heretical' religious fractions, such as Cathari in France, Patareni in Northern Italy (center in Milano), and Bogomils in Bosnia, where they enjoyed the status of the state Church, separated from Rome, up to the middle of the 15th century, as well as with the Waldensians, English Lolards, and Bohemian Hussites. One of the main efforts of all these 'heretical' religious movements was to introduced the vernacular languages in liturgy.
From the overall illustrations in the Voynich Manuscript, it is clear that the author was not focused on the Guelph party and its construction features, because his view on religion was different than the view of the Roman popes. It was more in view with Dante and his focus on genuine mystical religious tradition, on religious morality and simplicity and its return to genuine apostolic Christianity all those religious movement were advocating.
Since Slovenians had no state of their own since ancient Carantania, their history belonged to German/Austrian, Italian, Hungarian, even Bohemian. While Slovenian language was preserved by peasant people who spoke no other languages, nobility was mixed, so that the search for pure ethnic roots would be pointless.
I have tried to sort the historical information I was able to collect in regard to Welfs and Habsburgs and how they relate to the region of the present day Slovenia. I hope you can improve my notes, since most books on these subjects were written in German.
