I've added another big wave of ~45 entries (mainly 'Livre d'Heures') from Gallica. Of course, that includes many more of the "standard french months" too, but hopefully in the future they will come in handy with paleography, comparing different zodiac symbols or something else. For that big block of standard scorers i've rearranged them so that the locations are grouped up more neatly.
From a couple of notable ones:

One astrology book from the 14th century contains 3 sets of months, each different. Of interest may be the 2nd and 3rd set, which appear to be written in the same hand but with a different ink/quill (I'm not a paleographer so I'm not 100% certain it is the same hand). The months mirror eachother, but critically the 'ui' in both june and july are also written as 'oi' .
marz auril may* joing joignet aoust septēbre octembre nouēbre decēbre (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.)
mars auril may* juing juignet aoust septēbre octēbre nouēbre decembre (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.)
Just an another potential piece of evidence showing that 'joi' and 'jui' could perhaps -in some places- both be used to represent the same sound.

Both of these infuriate me, because after all this time searching for a rare 'o' in iollet, both decided to give me an 'o' in may instead.. And both really are "moy", not a smudged "may". Both are supposedly from different centuries. Assuming that both are mistakes, it shows that those mistakes can happen even from a less likely 'a' -> 'o', and even in a richly illuminated header.
So yes, if I had a dollar for every time I've seen 'moy' instead of 'may', i would have 2 dollars. It's not a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
