In You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., Nablator explains the shape of the "e" in "aberil". R.Sale links You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. as an example.
In You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., oshfdk notices the way "3" is written in "93" of the folio numbers. In fact, the folio numberer regularly (but not always) adds an extra tick on top of the 3.
Looking through the MS R.Sale linked in the context of the "e", I noticed the way its scribe writes short-s. Like the "3" of the folio numberer.
Both the foliation and the month names are described as "could be 15th century but could be later". Both add a top tick to certain letters/numbers.
Adding month names might make sense in the context of rebinding?
Image below shows capped folio 3's, two clips from CB174 and the capped "e" from aberil.
Since both shapes are found in the same reference MS, I suspect they might be related.
