Finding parallels for Month Names handwriting (Work in Progress)

[Jorge_Stolfi]

And after "dabril" is another word. It looks like "que" to me.

Yes. From the transcription: "Easy segujmos nosso caminho per este mar delomgo ataa terça feira doitauas de pascoa que foram xxj dias dabril que topamos alguu[n]s synaaes de tera"

And if that is correct, then is the letter "e" constructed from two strokes?

That digital archive site seems to be sick, so here is a copy of the first page of that letter:

Here are the bottom 7 lines with all the occurrences of "e" highlighted:
   
(A) a double "e", in "seemdo".
(B) a superscript "e".
(C with junk to prevent the MyBB editor from turning it into ©) a capital "E".

All the best, --jorge
