For what it's worth: the foliation was not done by Wideman, even though his hand is quite similar. It appears typical for the time.

In the several cases I have seen, he dotted his ones. 
This looks quite unusual, though I don't know if it is.

The month is spelled with a "b" in Portuguese, Spanish, and Catalan.

According to the INternet, the Catalan names are Gener (Jener, Janer), Febrer, Març, Abril, Maig (Maitg), Juny (Juñ), Juliol, Agost, Setembre, Octubre, Novembre (Noembre), Desembre (Xbre).   But those are relatively modern spellings.  I did not look for 15th century spellings.
