I think more German month names would be good, I didnt really look for any since from what I saw we soon run into the issue of germanic month names (i.e. erste herbs herbstmonat, andere herbstmonat) that are absent in the VM. However, germanic manuscripts generally have some sort of Aberell/Abrellen for April and Ogst/Augst for August, which is what we're looking for. In my mind whoever wrote the month names spoke some sort of French dialect very close to a germanic influence in his daily life. To my mind this really narrows it down to either somewhere around French speaking Switzerland or the NE of france, from Savoy to Pas de Calais, through what was at the time the Duchy of Burgundy and all the smaller Duchies of Picardy and Hainault. Unfortunately, finding regional spelling of those month names from the 1400s and 1500s has been very very difficult.
