The Mainz Merlon Mystery
#11
Yes, this image has caught the attention in Voynich discussions before. I am not sure if it is also used outside the Nuremberg chronicles.
One may wonder if it is possible to find a place that combines all the important elements from this illustration - it won't be Mainz - or not, but it is of course possible that it is just that: a combination of known elements.

The onion dome is one indicator, beside the ghibelline crenellations, and also the rocky hills are not found everywhere. Fortifications right next to a river (or lake?).

Nürnberg is just about possible. Salzburg seems to fit even better. An interesting puzzle but it may very well just be an imaginary place.
