Terribly sorry - stupid mistake. I simply wanted to substract four years from your date (four years can be considered *circa* for somebody of 650 lifespan), but for mysterious reason did the maths for the year 1300 instead of 1330.

Read 1326 instead of 1296. 

An yes, I also think the books are self updating.

Cheers, Viridis (who probably was drinking Befuddlement Draught instead of the tea)
