I find your theory quite convincing. How can we test it? By looking for fortune tellers in 15th century northern Italy? Do we even have a way of finding a register of charlatans or fortune tellers?
Another big question is the connection with the Taccola sketchbook. The charlatan must have had access to it at some point, for at least the sun face and the bridge illustrations. How would a charlatan get hold of such a rare manuscript?
