15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?
I admire your dedication and thoroughness, Pierre, you are singlehandedly revitalizing the map project.

Also I love that manuscript you found, the chaotic undulating landscape with all those castles and other details. When it comes to adding manuscripts to the map, we rarely if ever know the exact location. So I kind of spread them out over the region, in order to create the visual effect of a larger cluster on the map.

If I understand correctly, we don't know exactly where it was produced, but maybe it can be placed around Novara?
