That's a very interesting page, mr Tentakulus.
I'm viewing on my phone and can't quite make out the text. Can anyone see why the oak with vine is on this page? -

It's also hard to see on a desktop, quite small, but I think the text says, "Ulmus sustentat vitem botrus ut tibi tresca.." with the last word cut off.
So I suppose it is describing how an elm tree (Ulmus) can be used to support grape vines. -

I thought this imagery in a 14th-century English vestment was quite interesting because the oak tree itself is crafted as a double helix, a combination of oak and the shape of vines:

What I noticed, as I looked at these vestments is that the 14th-century English vestment shares many design features with this Spanish vestment said to be from the 13th century. If you look at the figures, the overall design, the way the demons are drawn, and the double-helix framing the images, there are clear similarities. But the Daroca cope does not explicitly add oak leaves and acorns to the double-helix:
