15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?

[MarcoP]

What the map tells us so far is that swallowtail-merlons appeared everywhere in Italy, so it seems likely that they were built and/or depicted in works from Salerno too. We just lack specific evidence from Salerno, but that’s not a big deal in my opinion: one more data-point in Salerno would not make much difference for the big picture.

I can see clearly merlons. The whole manuscript is full of them.

Check the thread’s title please. You are missing the important qualification swallowtail merlons. Ordinary merlons were literally everywhere all over Europe, swallowtail melons are rarer and limited to a specific geographic area.

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?

Check the thread’s title please. You are missing that we are looking for works that existed in the 15th century (I seem to remember the threshold was set to “before 1450”). The coat of arms you linked was drawn in 2011, six centuries too late. Before 2011, a different version made in 1996 was in use; the 1996 version added the words “Hippocratica Civitas” (that didn't appear in earlier 20th century versions) and didn’t feature swallowtail merlons.

About “the Civitas Hippocratica, today known as Salerno” - the city was always known as Salerno. E.g. see Horace “Epsitolarum Liber Primus” (1st Century BC)
