Rosettes and Revelations Pt.1: The Holy City - Koen Gheuens and Cary Rapaport

[Mark Knowles]

Still showing that there appears to have been a change in map makers' customs post-VM. 

How so?

There aren't so many Northern Italian maps dated from between 1404 and 1438, and some of them are local maps of specific cities and therefore don't illustrate bodies of water.

And the sequence of land-"hashing"-waves is still in the wrong order.

In my interpretation of the rosettes folio next to the hashing is land. So the sequence is not in the wrong order just that the external causeway land water boundary is illustrated with "hashing" whilst the internal causeway land water boundary is not, probably for stylistic reasons and as it is more important to highlight the external boundary as the internal boundary is marked by other features.
