Wherefore art thou, aberil?

It looks like the only month name completely unaccounted for in the french language of the late 14th century is "iollet" with the i.

Interestingly though, Thomas Sauvaget posits that it could be "jollet", as the scribe didn't have a lot of space to write out the j. It would be amazing to have a better quality image of that page, as it looks like there is an extremely faint line under the i as if it were a faded j, but perhaps I'm seeing things that aren't there. 

Anyway, "jollet" is a valid spelling and, interestingly enough, was used in an English inventory book from 1433. It can be found here in the Anglo-Norman dictionary: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
