15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?
Added. I believe all, or most, 14th-century maps from Venice that have merlons are somehow connected but I don't have time to investigate this at the moment. Please DM me if you come across any maps from this period, even if they don't have merlons.
The link to Koen's paper (page 22 on the thread) has been dead for a while, though thankfully it can be recovered via the Wayback. This appears to be a recurring issue on the forum, so I recently decided to add more direct quotes from websites and references to books and academic papers.

Can anyone find a full-resolution scan of the MS M.877?
