15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?
I can see clearly merlons. The whole manuscript is full of them. Did you have time to check all the folios?
And even... if they are "sloppy" painted, even if the painter had a "bad moment" as you mentioned... don't you think, that the manuscript as whole is at least worth to be called "same manuscript"-art? And added for this reason?

Plus the coat of arm of the medivial city of Salerno is carring merlons as well. See down below, cited again. I think those merlons are not better nor worse in quality than the other attributions in this thread. And their provenience is clearly approved, since the manuscript itself is from the late 12th century, it is complete and the author is known. What do you think?

And the guests can use this link: "https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Wappen_in_der_Provinz_Salerno#/media/Datei:Salerno-Stemma.svg"
It's a coat of arms of the Civitas Hippocratica, today known as Salerno. I guess you had another discussion going on about "Yppocrates" today ... in another thread. Do you need more evidences? And what kind of?

In case, this map (thread) belongs to special hypothesis (maybe to a project that is only focussing on the Alpine region), then please let me know. I couldn't figure it out, if this map is straight connected to a thesis for a limited place of origin. Then of course, you don't need to add Salerno to your map. It is way to South for supporting an origin in the Alps, it is clearly South of Naples.
