Month names collection / metastudy

[R. Sale]

Back in the liturgical calendars again to check the form of the letter 'm' in the months of March and May. There is a lot of variation, like each source is different, So, the Geneva example above is pretty close. Other similar examples with simplified structures are found in Saint Gall 1432.

One variation is how close the little 'feet' get to bumping into something. In some cases, one side of the 'm' (usually the left) can become a closed loop.

In other examples, the form of the 'm' is totally over the top.
