15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?

[Koen G]

@Koen G, have you figured out where the Trinity MS O.2.48 comes from?

No, although Marco and I discovered something about its line of transmission the other day: some of the later inscriptions are in a Flemish dialect (probably around Bruges, Ghent...). This explains how the manuscript ended up in England without any provenance. It was made somewhere, then some time in the 15th century came in possession of a Flemish individual, who (through trade relations) had connections with England.

The reason why this explains the unknown provenance is that it was already disconnected from its place of manufacture early on, being purchased by a Flemish person, probably a trader.

Another thing about the Trinity MS is that it has to be a copy of a now lost (southern) Italian MS. But with our current information, it makes no sense to guess where it was copied.
