Note Septemb3 / October / Novemb3 written in by hand here (much like on the 
VMs, and in a broadly similar hand and script), even though the month-names 
also clearly appear in the circular text:-
        http://www.celt.dias.ie/publications/cat/b/b2-10-1b.jpg

Perhaps that was a standard way that the church "secularised" possibly 
astrological documents? If that *is* some kind of tradition, perhaps (if it 
could be traced) it might help suggest a part of the VMs' (lost) provenance?

Cheers & Season's Greetings, ....Nick Pelling....
