One version of the Coligny Calendar.
Months (Moonths?) begin at the New Moon.
Each tabulated month, below, should have the following month appended to it,
to indicate that the Coligny month begins in the listed calendar month, but will
extend into the next month.
Thus, “October” below may be read as
October/November
meaning that the month of Saminos begins at the new moon of October.
