While not as useful as The Medieval Woman calendars, there were a couple of possibilities out there if you didn't wait for the after-New Year sales and patronized the right bookseller. Pages from the Spinola Hours were reproduced on 1 calendar and are beautiful examples of "squashed bug" style illumination. Pages from the Kennicott Bible, a 1476 Spanish manuscript, were reproduced on another.
Several years ago, my local newspaper had a piece on BrownTrout Publishing and how they had achieved success in the calendar business by going for "niche" topics and I've thought they would be a good place to try for a "People in the Middle Ages" calendar. (Even if they aren't still publishing it, I'm sure Workman would be inclined to lawsuits if someone else did a "Medieval Woman" calendar.) They have a web site, http://www.browntrout.com/index.asp , if anyone wants to write them.
