Finding parallels for Month Names handwriting (Work in Progress)

And after "dabril" is another word. It looks like "que" to me. And if that is correct, then is the letter "e" constructed from two strokes? It seems to me that this is a standard form of construction and in carefully written examples, the two part are often connected to each other. The VMs differs in that the two parts are clearly separated, and I see that as being an idiosyncrasy of the writer.

Writing should be tied to people, not to places. People are able to move around. Isabella of Portugal married Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, in 1430 and would have brough Portuguese influences to Dijon and then to Brussels.

Since many of the current listings have a similar "theme", I searched the e-codices of the 15th Century for 'Benedictine'. There are only 24, and discarding the nicely written examples cuts out about half of those.
