Could this be related to the "missing" pages? You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

Yes, that's what I explained in the initial post that got vanished by server failure induced time travel Big Grin

It's still reflected in the names of some months, which correspond to their original order in Latin: September (7), October (8), November (9) and December (10).

As far as I know though, this calendar of 10 months only was abandoned relatively early. The explanation I favor at the moment is that this reflects a calendar which started in March, like the Venetian one, from which two relatively useless months were omitted.
