vindemial

Appears in some old dictionaries, but not really any use. Vindemial is a French word we're missing, though. Thyself be knowne (talk) 15:54, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

 Cited.

p.s. "the Vindemial festival", "the Vindemial", etc., are occasionally used to render the autumnal Roman holidays feriae vindemiales. These would not be good cites for vindemial, as they refer to a more specific concept and are capitalised; but a lowercase use is seen in the quote below, which (although still referring to the same holidays) seems more generalised:

1960, Bernard Kuefler, The dialogue form of the" Octavius" of Minucius Felix: Its value and originality, Master's thesis, Ottawa, Canada, page 74:

When the three friends depart for Ostia during the vindemial holidays he indirectly shows that they fulfill their jobs seriously […]

I'm not sure if this is a good cite for vindemial.

p.p.s. most French cites I've seen on GBooks for Vindemial seem to refer to St. Vindemial of Gafsa. 蒼鳥 _{fawk. tell me if i did anything wrong.} 02:47, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
