15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?
Friendly reminder:

Why is Salerno with its medical school and the shared manuscript compilations still not added to your map? What are the reasons?

Your map seems to be the basis for all discussions about potential places of origins. Experts (Phd. Lisa Fagin Davis) cite your research to close up to the origin. It was used as example, why Phd. Cheshires thesis must be wrong. So, I have some questions myself.
 
1. Does your map explicit work only for the Alpine region?
2. As prove for your own special thesis? 
3. Does your map hold all (past) identified infrastructure and manuscript collections of further/past researchers?

You know, you are the admin here, you could have collected all swallowtail merlons of all users to display the results of a collective work. Since not all threads are visible (not even with an active user), it is impossible for me to follow up your map structure. And the issues, that you are deleting posts without notice, doesn't makes things easier, when it comes to trust the data.
 
But since you did not answer my initial request, I will ask again. Can you please clarify my questions? That would help to heal the search algorithm and safe a lot of people a lot of time. Until now, the state is unclear, but you and some experts provoke a wording and an interpretation of a peer reviewed, truth-speaking database when it comes to this merlon map. Please describe and display the purpose of this map.

As well I would like to see a list (csv., excel) with the approved results (real manuscripts for "art"-flags including weblinks and "proves" of all swallow-tail-merlons from before 1450). This thread structure is horrible for any validation and cross-checking, the search function is useless as well, the limiting functions are well known. The metatags in the map are without links. 

I heard in one of your plenty videos, that you were trying to fix a blind spot with this map. It was sounding like you figured out a blind spot. Please correct me here, I am unable to find the expression after reading and consuming all of your visual works.

1. What kind of blind spot did you mean?
2. Is there an older map, that is showing the blind spot?
3. When did you create this map? When was it first published?

General request: The way you split your ideas and contents over different channels (forum, threads, website, youtube, reddit, patron) makes it impossible, to follow up your data, ideas and blend it together. As a scientiest and especially linguist you should know better how to organize information, that need to be trustworthy. So please answer my questions and allow me to check your database without expecting me to click trough more than 50 pages, different threads and plattforms again.

Thanks for your support.

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.
