Okay. An absolute ton of entries have been added now, and I got to the end of the list I was sourcing from. The source is JONAS, the "Directory of French and Occitan texts and books (850-1550)". Most manuscripts/books in their database are given variables or descriptions to show the contents of those manuscripts. By chance while looking at an entry from gallica, I accidentally clicked on one of the variables for that manuscript (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.).
Doing so listed basically every single manuscript in their database that was recorded to contain a french calendar, across any/all seperate libraries worldwide. Each one tends to provide links to descriptions or digital content (when available). Over the last few days, I have checked every single link on that page and added every one that I could, around 150 in the end I think. There are so so many that are not yet digitised, so this page may one day contain more examples as more and more things get digitised.
It may be off-topic, but there may be other variables on this site that could be used in the same way (zodiac?, astrology?, illustrations?, language?) for lots of other areas of VMS research so it's well worth looking into.

A super interesting (even if not the highest scorer) entry was this one. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
mars, auril/auris, may/mais, joing(et)/iugnet, auoust/auost, septembre, octoiure, nouembre, decembre
On f4v, the months are discussed, with iugnet and iulet. In the calendar on f7r, it switches to joing(et) and juillet. JONAS lists the number of hands as 1, and the supposed origin for this manuscript is Italy, with a potential author being "Pozzolino da Basilea".
There were definitely many others of note, which I will probably post at some point, but right now I can't formulate enough about them until I take another look.
