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:-

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....
