Finding parallels for Month Names handwriting (Work in Progress)

[davidma]

If I may ask, do we have an agreement what language are the month names written in? Some dialect of French?

It does look a lot like some sort of north-eastern french dialect, however I have been doing some digging on the Swiss manuscript website and I am increasingly convinced that the month names are written by someone who lived somewhere at the crossroads between Switzerland and France (Basel? Strasburg?). 

There's a few elements that make me say so but in general: May appears in Swiss manuscripts as well (one time with a tittle too!), and so do Nouembre, Decembre and Augst, as well as Jong and Aperil (although the VM spells it Aberil). The letter shapes, specifically the G and Y, are very very common in Swiss manuscripts and rately written like that by French scribes. 

The only issue with a Swiss influence on the months scribe is that Octembre is yet to be found in any Swiss manuscript.
