Since May and Mai are spelling variants with presumably the same pronunciation, this month will almost always match (green in the doc). So finding one with the diacritic is very interesting. For example, we could see if this is purely a French thing or not.
By the way, does anyone have an idea why this might be there? (Gallica currently appears to be down so I cannot look at the MS). Does the writer "cap" other y's? Is it like the two dots on ij? Does it indicate a difference in pronunciation?
