I propose that the manuscript is at least partially based in The Burren of County Clare and the cliffs of Moher in Ireland.
I'll provide comparison of the botany drawn in the manuscript and that of the biodiverse region of The Burren and other coinciding climatic, historical and mythological elements.
I will also provide some textual evidence from the manuscript (the textual element will presuppose that my Irish translation has already been evaluated and deemed accurate. The textual element will be considered anecdotal evidence for the time being. I ask that this be entertained and that your overarching linguistic analysis take a backseat for this thread).
This thread will also look at the manuscript choices, the chemistry in pigment and the need for gall ink with climate, as well as the use/sharing and passing of the manuscript as an object of purpose both as it was made and in the following years.
In my research now, I'm trying to narrow down some things geographically now that I know there are some places referenced by name. I have reason to believe the woods near a Monastery in County Clare may be referenced. This thread will also discuss the history of Irish Monks and Nuns spending time in and around Italy and the movement of the manuscript leading up to and after Italy.
