Personally, I don't like "calendar" for that section: I think it carries just as many assumptions as "zodiac". The month names were added later and we don't know by whom or whether this person could understand voynichese.
The fact that the section begins in a bifolio shared with the previous so-called "astronomical" section indicates a continuity in the theme, especially if Sam G's observation about bifolios and page order is valid (I increasingly think so).
The questions of foliation and of sections go hand in hand, it seems to me.
Regarding your remark about Q13: Yes, that is unclear also. Glen Claston believed Q13 was actually two sections, one balneological and the other medical (Galenic). His comments about that have been posted by Nick Pelling in a You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. he made last year about Q13 foliation.
