15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?
Two manuscripts with swallowtail merlons that I don't think are on the map yet:
BL Royal 6 E IX - Carmina regia (Prato's address to Robert of Anjou). Tuscany (Pacino di Buonaguida), c. 1335–1340; a minority view (Tomei) argues Naples. BL viewer's still down from the cyber-attack, so image here You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

BNF Latin 9333 — Tacuinum sanitatis. Rhineland (Germany), c. 1445–1451 - a German copy of the Italian ÖNB Cod. Ser. n. 2644, so the merlons are derivative and it's post-1450; worth a caveat.
