Folio numbers and Month names - same hand?

[ReneZ]

Both the foliation and the month names are described as "could be 15th century but could be later".

Note that Sergio Toressella stated that the hand of the month names is 15th century, and from my limited exposure I also have a hard time seeing it as much after 1500.

The abbreviations are from someone who used these all the time - there is no particular reason to use them here (enough space).

I wonder if the rather inconspicuous 'fe' or 'fo' on f2v could be from the same origin (hand) as the month names. 

On a different tangent, Nick Pelling always advocated an Occitan origin for this writing, and wondered about Montpellier and Rondelet here: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

Nowadays, there is a good link to Rondelet, as Rauwolf was his student (in Montpellier), and R. has a tenuous connection with the MS. However, the handwriting style of these days (mid-1500's) is quite different from the Voynich month names.
 
Back to the 'fo' on f2v, long ago I wondered if this could be related to similar inscriptions on alchemical herbal MS Firenze 106. See slides 12 and 13 of this talk: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

Also Jean Ruel, who lived in Northern France, is a bit late for the handwriting of the month names. I never found a connection between Ruel and Rondelet, apart from the fact that they were both in Paris at roughly the same time.
