What I learned is that it is necessary to discern between the creation date of literature (here mostly 13-14th century) and the creation date of manuscripts. Often late 15th -16th century. I guess due to the availability of cheap paper. When diligenty copied, these late manuscripts would have retained the older writing style and thus month names.
The dates given here are the original creation dates of the texts, unless manuscripts are listed. I have not checked them for the actual scans of the month names. If you have time, eggy, there's a truckload of work waiting for you!
These are awesome, thankyou!
I've started going through to check and will add them as I go. The first one I checked (Reinfried von Braunschweig) was correct.
If more month names are within those manuscripts we can also update them at any point, so i'll also note whether they have been checked.
Having the names of works is super useful for searching within metadata as the descriptions often reference work names, or reference other manuscripts. For example, "Alexanders Monatsregeln" eventually led to a ton of results as it was frequently copied.
