Finding parallels for Month Names handwriting (Work in Progress)

[Jorge_Stolfi]

I have a quick question about chronology. Do you assume that the names of the months were written by the authors of the Voynich Manuscript? Or do you believe that the names of the months were written with the same broad pen by the person who, after rebinding the manuscript, also wrote the page numbers in the upper right corners?

Speaking for myself, I suspect that the names of the months were written by a later owner, because the ink looks different from the ink used in the text and drawings.

But whether the Month Labeler was the Author or someone else, I suspect that he had only an imperfect knowledge of the language L that those labels are supposed to be in. That is, I suspect that he was trying to write those names not for himself, but for the benefit of a third person (like a prospective buyer of the book) who was supposed to understand language L.   

That would explain why the language remains unidentified after 100 years of intense scrutiny by paleographers and linguists...

All the best, --stolfi
