All MS images of swallowtail merlons north of Italy we know of are Weltchronik

It is very difficult to determine the correct place of origin based on the text.
The ‘ch’ as ‘k’ suggests a proximity to Alemannic.
But it is only 20 km from St. Gallen Abbey to the Bavarian language area, and 40 km to Bavaria. Ergo, somewhere.
