Nadim, have you seen this easily missable post [1] ?  I know I missed
it the first time, but just a few days ago, I stumbled upon it while
deleting some older archived messages. Also, the 2nd edition of another
well known Meeus book [2] includes a chapter on "Jewish and Moslem
calendars". I hope this info should help you or anyone else interested
in deciphering that code.
