15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?

[Koen G]

The outliers are one of those things.
I think it's more important who wrote a book and where, than where it is today.
It would be stupid to think MS 408 is a real New Yorker just because it also has the battlements.

All manuscript locations in the map are based on area of production, not their current location. For example, we have one entry in Barcelona, because we have found so far one manuscript containing swallowtail merlons that was made in Barcelona. I find the manuscript entries most interesting, because we know the VM also belongs on this map: it is a pre-1450 manuscript that contains swallowtail merlons. We just don't quite know where to place it
