I wouldn't go too far north now. Here the use of the battlements ends and the spread of some plants becomes thin. For example, castor bean, to name just one. This is another reason why I don't look further north of the Alps.
There are exceptions. Classic growing areas along the Rhine and Moselle are usually a bit warmer.
I have not researched what the climate is like near Prague, for example.

Register or Login to view.The appearance of a crossbowman in the VM is indeed interesting, since crossbows had different uses and connotations than bows (though both were used similarly while hunting). Here is a direct link to the Laufenburg page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. . How do we know what the VM makers had in mind though? Did each sign hold a specific meaning, or did they just need a series of month emblems for whatever this section of the MS is?I believe the Zodiac signs in the Laufenburg manuscript are very revealing how the Zodicac signs were used in the alchemical medieval writing. I wish my German was better to understand the writing. According to the description on Wikipedia, the book deals with astrology and astronomy, yet the pictures seem to indicate the progress of civilization and the cultivation of the growing tree of knowledge of Good and Evil.

Although EVA was not perfect, I was able to recognize enough words to convince me that the language of the VM was medieval Slovenian, which was much different than Slovenian language today.
