That's an awfully wide variation for a lunisolar calendar. I don't know the details of the Coligney, but it's reportedly on par, accuracywise, with the older (pre-5th century) Hebrew calendar. That's not as good as the modern Hebrew calendar, but even with leap months I wouldn't expect a September-to-December range for a given lunisolar dat. There shouldn't be more than a two-month variance. -- Mark J. Reed <markjreed@...>
