Month names collection / metastudy

[Bernd]

Rationally (but what about the VM is rational), a Flemish background would make more sense than an obscure Northern French dialect. The County of Flanders was an economic and cultural powerhouse with ample connections throughout Europe. Flemish artists and traders could be found anywhere, but especially in Northern Italy where wealth and art also gathered.

Regardless of the origin of the month names in the VM, we should not overlook that they don't necessarily mean the VM traveled to that region.The author of the month names might just have come from such a place, but it tells us little about where the VM was when he added the month names.
