Well, thanks for answering. The symbology of the eagle is of course the empire, however everybody is so focused on radiocarbon dating, as well as Christianity. When I approached the codex I made tabula rasa. It's extremely interesting considering St. Michael, although I've never seen anywhere in arts such wings connected to the figure and role of the Archangel. In Puglia there are the first two caves of the michaelic cult, and although the saint's wings are huge, they are not similar to this eagle-root. I'm pretty sure there is a connection since even now Tanacetum is the herb "of the Germans". 
Tanacetum balsamita does present "buttons", but no lingulate flowers, which are indeed found in T. parthenium, and are white. This is why it makes sense. Leaves are exactly as those of T. parthenium if seen from above, in maturity, so thick and with margins "like a lace" somehow.
Thank you!
