Thanks so much for that German wiki link -- with the transcription I was able to find the manuscript text.

       

In one case the actual word was, I think, lunaria (Dresden, Landesbilbl., Mscr. M59) and in the other it is an abbreviated lunariam (macron = "m"; not sure what the little circle over the "u" stands for) (Wolfenbuttel, Herzog, August Bibl. Cod. 50.5 Aug. 2 degree).

Of course, I'm still learning on the handwriting, so I might have missed a letter or two.  Bottom line, though, it was the Latin term in this manuscript description.  Sorry to not be able to provide an early example of a common name.

Thanks,

Michelle
