Month names collection / metastudy

[Zauriek]

There was no "strict" (standard) spelling.

Well yea, but, i refer to overall metal astrolabes; i was wondering if the act of engraving stuff into metal in that time could have required more rigurosity, at least compared with the text in manuscripts. Because if a mistake was made the whole piece had to be remelted? or it would require a predesigned mold to save time (that has to be carefully made.)

Do you think the engravings could have been personalized to the buyer? Not sure if the astrolabes were piled up to be sold (like a mass production of today) or if it had to be a commisioned work made one by one.

Well, in the scenery of an metalic engraving to be sold in a market with people going around, it would require some short of most accepted or easily recognized signatures rater than variations of the official or most used symbolism at the time i imagine. Or the designer and the buyers really do not cared about the discrepancy of picard french in all of the months. Or they could understand them, in wich would made that particular order of month names somewhat standard to the orignin of the piece. But if it was a commision the source would have been the buyer not the crafter.

Anyways is just a sideline idea.

[With "order of month names" i refer to the phenomenon of some months beeing strict and have less disvariance than others, "strict" month names are like "may"? disvariants are like "iollet" i guess]
