Preface.
EADERS who can aflign correal dates to
events, according to the different fyftems in
ufe in various countries, by means of the
accompanying work, will be the beft judges
of the value of the aid afforded them. It has been truly
faid, that hiftorical fails are nothing more than detached
fragments, unlefs the feries of time, according to its proper
periods, the interval of occurrences, and the train and
coincidences of events, be drawn together into one body,
to make, what has been aptly termed, the " thread of
hi/lorythe mere knowledge of the fail, that an event
occurred, being of little worth per fe, unlefs the true
place in the hiflory of the world of the event in queflion
be known alfo.
The Tear of the Chriftian Era, now ufed, is of the fame
form as the Julian year which C. Julius Caefar intro¬
duced in the year of Rome 708, when the Julian year
began on the ift of January, and ended on the 31ft of
December, 709 a.u.c.
Our Chriftian Era is, according to the reckoning of
X
Preface.
Dionyfius Exiguus, who, [a.d. 533], firft introduced the
fyftem of writing the words Anno Domini with any year
of the Chriftian era of the Incarnation. The point in
time which Dionyfius afligned to 1 Anno Domini was the
year of Rome 754. The birth of-our Lord took place
in the 28th year of the reign of Auguftus ; and Dionyfius,
by reckoning from 727 a.u.c., the year in which the
Emperor took the name of Auguftus, made the 28th year
fall to 754 a.u.c., four years fhort of the date obferved by
the early Chriftians, who, reckoning the years of the
Emperor from the date of the battle of Adlium [723
a.u.c.], to commemorate which, the Era of the Roman
Emperors was founded, made the 28th year of Auguftus
fall to 750 a.u.c. for the birth of our Lord, or 1 Anno
Chrijii. It is therefore neceflary to bear in mind, that
though the reckoning of Dionyfius will not fuit the ftate-
ments in connexion with the early hiftory of the Chriftian
faith, yet, if 1 Anno Chrijii, correfponding to 4, before
1 Anno Domini, be taken, the ftatements will accord with
hiftorical fa£ts. [See pp. 23, 24.]
The Dionyfian year is fuppofed to have commenced
with the 25th of March ; that being the date ufually
aftigned to the <{ Incarnation of the IVordf the name
which the era bore. The firft year of the fecond Dio¬
nyfian Pafchal Cycle of 532 years to which Golden
Number II. of the Dionyfian Cycle of 19 years belonged,
was 533 a.d., when Eafter-day would fall, according to
that cycle, on the 27th of March, the third day of the
25th of March. The firft year of the firft Dionyfian
Pafchal Cycle of 532 years, being 1 Anno Domini, with
Golden Number II. of the Dionyfian Cycle of 19 years,
fo imagined.
By the following table of correfponding dates we can
Preface.
xi
fee how I Anno Domini * of our Chriftian Era, according
to the reckoning of Dionyfius, falls to the year of Rome
754, four years fhort in its commencement, of the 28th
year of Auguftus, 750 a.u.c. And we can alfo fee that
when the words Anno Domini were applicable to any year
of the Chriftian Era of the Dionyfian reckoning, the 46th
year of the Julian Era, in the firft inftance was imagined
to contain but feven days of 1 a.d. [25 Dec. to 31 Dec.]
And when the year of the fame era was reckoned from
the 25th of March, the 46th year of the Julian Era
was encroached upon by 1 a.d. And when in the year
1752, in England, the year of the Chriftian Era was
reckoned from the ift of January according to the Julian
form of year, the remainder of the 46th year of the Julian
Era was fuppofed to apply to 1 a.d., if we take a retro-
fpedtive view of the reckonings. This explanation is
neceftary in confequence of the ftatement which fre¬
quently appears in this book, that 33 Anno Chrijii cor-
refponds to 30 Anno Domini, which we muft bear in
mind is according to the fyftem required for finding any
Year-Letter to be ufed with the Calendar for determining
the day of the week, or Golden Number for Eafter-day,
and that the years u a.d." of the Chriftian Era are thus
imagined to have commenced always on the ift of January
according to the Julian form of year, for the fake of
having a uniform year for the Year-Letter, &c.
* The letters " b.c." indicate the years prior to the Dionyfian
commencement of the Chriftian Era, and fhow that the date fo defig-
nated is to be reckoned before the fixed point in time, 1 A.D. —

The date of Herod's death affords further evidence
that the true year correfponded to 750 a.u.c., as Herod
died three months after the 25th of December [Chrift-
mas-day], a.u.c. 750.
Preface.
xiii
Our Lord was born during Herod's reign [25th of
December, 750 a.u.c.], and Herod's death occurred
between the 13th of March and the date on which the
feaft of the Paffover* was kept in the fame year,t about
three months after Chriftmas-day. Thus, with Golden
Number XI, of the Metonic Cycle, [Number XII not
being brought into ufe until July], the date of the New
Moon appears to have been the 16th of March, 750
a.u.c. The date of the <e Paffover" being the 29th of
March, 14 days of the date of the New Moon, we thus
know that Herod's death happened in the month of March,
750 a.u.c., towards the end of the year of Rome, while
it was in the third month of the Julian year. Hence we
find the 25th of December, 750 a.u.c., belongs to the
42nd year of the Julian Era, and is the commencement
of 1 Anno Chrijii = 4 b.c. [/. e. four years before 1 a.d.
of the Dionyfian reckoning].
And if we follow out the fame fyftem we fihall find
33 Anno Chrijii = 30 Anno Domini [according to our
prefent plan of beginning the year on the iff of January]
= 782 a.u.c. towards the latter part of the year of Rome,
fuiting the words of the Gofpel of St. Matthew, for the
year when our Lord fuffered.
* Jofephus, Wars of the Jetus, book ii. ch. i. § 1. " Now the
" neceffity which Archelaus was under of taking a journey to Rome
" was the occafion of new difturbances; for when he had mourned
" for his father feven days, and had given a very expenfive funeral

"up to the Temple, where the people accofted him with various
" acclamations. . . . § 3. And indeed at the feaft of unleavened bread,

The year being thus fatisfa&orily determined, we can
eafily trace out the days of the week in connexion with
the date upon which the feaft of the Paffover was ob-
ferved in the fame year. The date of the New Moon of
the Vernal Equinox, a.d. 30, being the 22nd of March,
indicated by Golden Number V. of the Metonic Cycle,
the 14th of that date was the 4th of April.
The early Chriftians in the third century adopted an
era which they called the " Era of Martyrs" fee
"Eras"], and it was to have been reckoned at a later
period in cycles of 532 years, but upon the approach of
* Date of the New Moon of the Vernal equinox,
f Fourteenth day of the Moon j evening of the preparation of the
feaft of unleavened bread ; commencement of the Paffover feaft, which
extended over feven days. Exodus, ch. xii. ver. 18, "In the firft
" month, in the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye lhall eat
" unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at

the expiration of the firft cycle, counting from 284 a.d.
for the commencement of the u Era of Martyrs," the
Council of Chelfea [Celchyth in England], on the 27th
of July, a.d. 816, ordered the Dionyfian Era of the In¬
carnation to be adopted; which era appears to have been
introduced a.d. 533, commencing with the 25th of
March, at the fame time that Dionyfius introduced his
Pafchal Cycle of 532 years. Hence we have 1 a.d. —
754 a.u.c. for the ift year of the ift cycle of 532 years,
with Golden Number II, and 533 a.d. for the ift year
of the 2nd cycle of 532 years, alfo with Golden Num¬
ber II of the Dionyfian Cycle of 19 years.

Preface.
The fyftem of commencing the year on the 25th of
March was obferved in various countries during feveral
centuries ; and in England, where it has been known as
the Englifh legal year, it was in ufe until 1751 a.d.,
after which date the year in England was reckoned from
the 1 ft of January, according to the Julian form of year
introduced 45 years before 1 Anno Domini of the Diony-
fian reckoning.
Particular attention fhould be given to the fyftem of
writing dates according to the Englifh legal year, as it
was called, miftakes having been made by confuftng that
form of year with the Julian year commencing on the
i ft of January. There are not many hiftorians who
recognize the Englifh legal fyftem, and we are not aware
that it has been noticed in any correal lift of regnal years
of the Englifh Sovereigns, in modern works, before the
firft edition of this work was publifhed j we have, how¬
ever, endeavoured to make the dates given in this work
ferviceable to all readers, by recognizing both fyftems, by
means of double datesy the upper figures being intended
to reprefent the Englifh legal year and the lower figures
the year according to the Julian method, while we have
obferved the Dionyfian reckoning of the years of the
Chriftian Era.
The dates given in the records of the coronations
of the Englifh fovereigns happening before the 25th of
March, on or after the ift. of January, will be fatif-
fa£lory evidence of the pra£tice in England, as the records
of thofe ceremonies are to be found upon the official rolls
of the Court of Chancery, upon which it was the cuftom
to record fuch important events. In every official me¬
morandum we fhall find the Englifh legal year obferved.
The reign of James the Firft furniflies an illuftration

xvu
of the u hljlorical" confufion of dates, as that reign began
on the 24th of March, 1602, according to the Englifh
fyftem, the next day being called the 25th of March, 1603.
While in Scotland, the date of the Acceflion of James to
the Englifh throne was 1603, the Julian form of year
having been ordered to be ufed in Scotland in the year
1600, by proclamation,* dated the 17th of December,
I599-
It may not be out of place here, to fhow, that when
the laft day of February in 1571-2 was written in Eng¬
land " 29th of February, 1571," it had its place in the
Julian form of year as the fecond month ; notwithftanding
the fyftem in ufe in England of beginning the year on the
25th of March.
The following letter, addrefied to Lord Burleigh, in the
year 1571, by his fon Thomas, is an inftance in point, and
will no doubt be interefting for other reafons.

with the years 1571, 1619 and 1647, while the year in
England ended on the 24th of March. The Julian form
of year commencing with January, which was the fixed
form for determining Leap-year according to the rule
introduced by Julius Caefar, 708 A.u.c., had not been
encroached upon fufficiently by the Chriftian year to
include the whole of the Julian year, fo that we have to
imagine the dates juft noticed to have been 1571-2,
1619-20 and 1647-8 in order to recognize the Julian
form of year. It was not until 1752 a.d. that the year
in England commenced on the ift of January, and the
29th of February was written fo as to accord entirely
with the form of the Julian year.
The commencement of the Parliamentary government
of the Englifh Commonwealth, after the execution of
Charles the Firft, has been affigned by fome hiftorians to
the year 1649 > while, according to the fyftem of writing

The Gregorian Calendar, or New Style of writing
dates was firft introduced in the year 1582, in certain
Foreign Countries, and ten days were then ftruck out of
the Calendar, [fee pp. 6-19]. Other regulations were
alfo made, viz. that one day more fhould be dropped in
each hundredth year which was not a fourth hundredth
after 1582. In England the Old Style was directed to
be difcontinued and the New Style introduced in the year
1752 [Statute 24 Geo. II. c. 23]. The change of ftyle
was effected in the following manner in September 1752.
xxviii
Preface.
Eleven days being the difference between dates written
according to the two ftyles, Old and New, the day after
Wednefday the 2nd of September 1752 was called Thurf-
day the 14th of September 1752, omitting the 3rd to the
13th both inclufive. The introdudiion of the Gregorian
fyftetn had previoufly been attempted in England, but
without fuccefs.
In the reign of Henry VIII. [21 July, 1514] Pope
Leo X. wrote to the king, that, in confequence of Eafter
falling at the wrong time, from the errors of the Calen¬
dar, he had confulted the moft fkilful theologians and
aftronomers of the time, who all agreed in its inac¬
curacy, and that the moon was five days old when it was
reckoned the firft by the Church. And confidering the
impropriety that any fuch error fhould be tolerated,—
the Lateran Council then fitting,—and fo give caufe
of ridicule to Jews and hereticks, he had written to
learned men for their opinion. On referring it to the
Synod, many difficulties had appeared in adjufting the
queftion. He therefore begged the king to fend to the
Lateran Council the beft theologians and aftronomers in
his realm to affift in providing a due remedy; or write
that they fhould, that their opinions might be laid before
the 10th Seffion, to be held on the firft of December.

44 other Countries." It was read a fecond time on the i8th
of the fame month, after which no notice occurs of it.
In the Calendar of State Papers, made by Mr. Bruce
[Domeftic Series, Charles I. vol. cccxliij.], there is a
reference to 44 A Book of Rough Notes by Nicholas [Sir
44 Edward Nicholas, Secretary of State], of proceedings
44 of the Council" at their feveral meetings during this
month [January, 1636-7]; and amongft the Memoranda
will be found the following entries concerning a propofed
alteration of the commencement of the year.

44 Mr. Attorney to draw a proclamation for altering the

It was not, however, until the year 1752, that the
alteration in the commencement of the year in England
took place on the ift of January, the new ftyle being in¬
troduced in September.
The alteration from the Old to the New Style of
writing dates, in foreign countries, we have already ftated
was made in the year 1582, when Pope Gregory XIII,
after great confideration, — he having been formally
charged by the Council of Trent with the talk of cor¬
recting the Julian Calendar,—publifhed his new Calen¬
dar, the neceflity for which was caufed by the difcovery

Correjponding Dates, Thefe are given fo that any date
written in either the Old or New Style may be eafily

belonging to the Hegira, the era in ufe in Turkey, and
other countries where the Mohammedan Calendar is now
ufed ; the dates of the "Hegira" being found written
according to the Old Style, and unintelligible to many
Englifh readers, unlefs reduced to the correfponding New
Style dates now ufed in England.
Tear-Letters are required with the Perpetual Calendars
for each letter, that the day of the week of any Chriftian
date may be determined. A " table'''' for finding the
Year-Letters for all years being neceflary, one has been
made to ferve for the whole extent of the Chriftian era,
from I Anno Domini to the prefent time, calculating the
years always from i January according to the Julian form
of year and the Dionyfian reckoning.
Perpetual Calendars, fixed. Thefe, being made fepa-
rately for each Dominical Letter, the fyftem by which
each Sunday letter is produced is eafily underflood, while
the letters which belong to all the days of the week are
known. The advantage alfo of the fixed Calendar is
that there can be no unexpedted movement to caufe an¬
noyance or miftakes.
The Roman and Church Calendar is given with the
Golden Numbers, fo that the dates of the " Calendar"
New Moon may be afcertained; thus ferving for a

and the correfpondence they have to the numbers of the

The commencement of the year in various countries being
known, we can form calendars to fuit the various dates,
whether for the Old or New Style.
The French Republican Calendar has been drawn out
with the correfponding dates for the Englifh Calendar.
The account given of the Golden Numbers, and the tables
fhowing the change in the order of the numbers, with
the different cycles, will ferve as a key to the cau e of
the confufion which has exifted concerning the date upon
which the Feaft of the Paffover commenced, at the time of
the eftablifhment of the Chriftian faith. \_See Table of
correfponding numbers of the three cycles, p. 224].
The Pajchal Cycle continued by Dionyfius, ferves as a
ready key to the
Table for finding the date of Eafier-day for the Old Style,
the New Style dates of Eafter-day for years from 1583 to
1926 being given feparately {pp. 138 to 141].
The moveable feajls with the Saints' -days, altogether
amounting to feveral hundreds, are believed to be thofe
which were chiefly ufed in Englifh manufcripts.

the year in which our Lord fuffered. [The date of the
feaft of the Paflover has been determined by the numbers
of the Metonic Lunar Cycle, and we think we are jufti-
fied in taking this cycle for the one which was then
[ a.d. 30] ufed by the Jews, inafmuch as we have fhown
in the account of the Hebrew Calendar [ fee pp. 263-266],
that the numbers of the "cycle of the year" now ufed
by the Jews have been regulated by the cycles introduced
by Chriftians in the years 463 and 532 of the Chriftian
era. The numbers of the Jewifh cycle of the year being
found correfponding to the cycle of Hilarius [a.d. 463],
and the feven intercalary or embolifmic years of the Jewifh
Cycle being reprefented by the fame numbers as thofe of
the " Dionyfian Cycle of 19 years" [a.d. 532], except
when a new number has been introduced by the Jews
on new year's day of the civil year, at the time of the
autumnal equinox, we infer that the cycle now ufed by
the Jews was not adopted by them before the fixth cen¬
tury, and that the numbers of the Metonic Lunar Cycle
(probably according to the fyftem of the Calippic period)
would have been ufed by the Jews in the firft century
of the Chriftian era, for determining the date of the
New Moon of the Vernal equinox, by which the feaft
of the Paflover was regulated].
Anaftaiius, a Greek writer [poflibly the Bifhop of
Antioch, who was banifhed from his See a.d. 570],
ftates, that "our Lord fuffered, in his 33rd year [=30
" a.d. j, on the 14th day of the moon, the 29th of
" Phamenoth" [= 25th of March], which date falls
on Saturday in that year. In our account of the Chriftian
era [fee pp. 222-3], we have endeavoured to fhow how
it happens that this date has been given.

State Papers.
The letters, &c. of which our State Papers are chiefly
compofed frequently bear dates according to the two ftyles,
Old and New, when the letters have been written in Fo¬
reign Countries, and they are thus eafily arranged chrono¬
logically according to either fyftem. But when we meet
with a paper dated on or between the ift of January and
the 24th of March, with double dates for the year, we
muft take the day of the month to be according to the
Old Style. Thus :—<c Tuefday, ift of January, 1582-3,"
is according to the Old Style in England &c. by the fa£t
of the year 1582 ending on the 24th of March being
recognized. For if the date inftanced had been intended
to reprefent the New Style, the year 1583 would have
appeared alone, as the fyftem of commencing the year
on the ift of January was in each country adopted earlier
than the Gregorian or New Style of writing dates.
Memorandum.—The Table of correfponding Golden
Numbers given in this work [ fee p. 224] fhows the dif¬
ference of three numbers between each cycle j but as
Number I of the Metonic Cycle commenced with the
Attic month Hecatombceon — July, on the 13th of that
month, there will be a difference of four numbers during
the firft fix months in the year commencing with January,
and number V of the Metonic Cycle muft be made to
correfpond to IX of the Lunar Cycle, and XII of the
Dionyfian Cycle of 19 years in the Chriftian year of the
Julian form a.d. 30, from January to July, as the num¬
bers for the year of thofe two cycles came into ufe in
January. Number VI of the Metonic Cycle corre-

fponding to thofe numbers, IX and XII, only from July
to December in the fame year [a.d. 30]. No variation
in the dates for the New Moon will be required, as the
"Table" in which VI = IX = XII appear has been
made exprefsly for the year commencing with January.
This explanation is required, becaufe in this preface [fee
p. xiv] we have ftiown that number V of the Metonic
Cycle belonged to 30 a.d. The above remarks muft
alfo be borne in mind when the " Table" given in the

Caefar's Invafion of Britain,
in the year of Rome 699 = 55 before i a.d. on the
26th of Auguft, Saturday, fo interpreted.
F is ftated in hiftory, that Caefar invaded our
fhores on the 26th of Auguft 55 b.c. The
Year-letter for that year, if we obferve the
fixed form of year, correfponding to that of
the Solar Cycle, is A, [fee p. 35]. The Calendar for
letter A [fee p. 54] makes the 26th of Auguft fall on
Saturday.
In Caefar's Commentaries we find the following words.
[Lib. iv. cap. 28.] " Pace firmatd his rebus, quart am diem
pof-quam ventum-ef in Britanniamf See. See. [Cap. 29.]
Eddem nodle evenit ut luna effet plena f See. Sec., by which
we learn that the fourth day of Caefar's arrival was the
time of the full moon. Now if we look to p. 116 of this
book we fhall fee that the Golden Number of the Metonic
Cycle for the year 55 b.c. was XVII, with which num¬
ber, in the table at p. 224, the date of the new moon
appears to be the 14th of Auguft. The full moon would
be the fourteenth day of that date = the 27th of Auguft
[Sunday]; and the fourth day of the 26th would be the
29th of Auguft. This note is given for the purpofe of
fliowing the ufe of the tables in this work for the verifi¬
cation of dates with the Golden Numbers, as the date
found by means of the Golden Number XVII fuits the
ftatement made by Caefar with reference to the time of
the full moon, when the high tides caufed him fo much
inconvenience.
Concerning the year thirty-three,
Suiting the uuords ofthe Gofpels for the year nvhen our Lordfuffered death.
E are able to fhow that, in the year 782 u.c.
= 30 a. d. of the Roman reckoning =
33 Anno Chrifti, the date of the Calendar
New Moon of the Vernal equinox was on
the 22nd of March, with Golden Number vi. of the
Metonic Cycle (fee Table of Numbers, p. 224).
And thus, as the Jewifh date for the commencement
of the year, viz., 1 Nifan, would correfpond to the 22nd
and 23rd of March ; the 14th of Nifan would fall to the
4th and 5th of April, for the date of the Calendar Full
Moon, a.d. 30, with Year Letter A, when the Feaft of
the PafTover would be at hand.
We will now proceed to fhow how the words of the
Gofpels fuit thefe dates.
Note.—Golden Number v. would be the number for a Greek year com¬
mencing in Hecatombaon — July, but as the Table of Golden Numbers, See.,
has been made to fuit the fixed form of the Julian year, the new number vi.
comes into ufe in January.

We thus find Friday the 7th of April, Saturday the
8th, and Sunday the 9th of April 33 Anno Chrijli = 30
Anno Domini of the Roman reckoning, fuiting the words
of all the Gofpels.
The date, however, commemorated for Eafter-day of
the year 33, has, from about the middle of the fourth
century to the prefent time, been the 5th of April inftead
of the 9th of April, which can be explained as follows :—
We take the 28th year of Auguftus for the commence¬
ment of the Chriftian Era, and when we reckon the
years of Auguftus from the date of the commence¬
ment of the Era of the Roman Emperors [723 a.u.c. ==
31 b.c.] we find the 28th year falling to the year of Rome
750. But if we reckon from the time of the Augujlan
Era, viz. the date when the name "Auguftus" was
affirmed by the Emperor in the fifth year of the Era,
[727 a.u.c. = 27 b.c.] we find the 28th year falling to
the year of Rome 754, from which I Anno Domini is
reckoned, while 750 a.u c. (the true year) is called
I Anno Chrijli.
Tear-Letters.
When we reckon from 754 a.u.c. = 1 a.d. we find
33 a.d. falling to the latter part of the year of Rome 785,
(from January to April of the Julian form of year), with
Year-Letter D for the Calendar, and the 5th of April
belonging to Sunday of 36 Anno Chrijli.
But when we reckon from 750 a.u.c. = 1 Anno Chrijli,
we find 33 a.c. falling to the latter part of the year of
Rome 782, (from January to April of the Julian form of
year), with Year-Letter A for the Calendar, and the 9th
of April belonging to Sunday of 30 Anno Domini.
xl Supplement to Preface.
Golden Numbers.
Cycle makers when they introduced Cycles of Golden
Numbers for determining the date of the New Moon, by
which the date of Eafter-day was regulated by order of
the Council of Nice, a.d. 325, caufed differences between
one cycle and the other, when a new cycle was intro¬
duced with a number commemorative of the year 33,
which diflurbed the continuity of the reckoning of the
numbers of the cycle previoufly ufed. For example :—
a.d. 380 Tbeophilus of Alexandria had a cycle of 437 years
= 23 cycles of 19 years [23 x 19 = 437]? which was
then introduced with Golden Number VIII, becaufe
that was the number of the Metonic Cycle belonging to
33 a.d. = 36 a.c. before July [the numbers in the Greek
year being reckoned from the month which correfponded
to July], hence as VIII-IX in the table [p. 224] will be
found to indicate the 19th of March for the date of the
New Moon of the Vernal Equinox, the date for Eafter-
day would be the 5th of April for Sunday following the
14th day of the New Moon, with Year-Letter D and
Golden Number IX for 33 Anno Domini, reckoning 1 a.d.
from 754 a.u.c. according to the Roman fyftem of dating
the Augujian Era.
a.d. 412 Cyril of Alexandria had a cycle of 95 years
■«= 5 cycle of 19 years [5 x 19 = 95] which was then
introduced with Golden Number VIII, and thus the 5th
of April was the date commemorated for 33 Anno Domini,
as with the previous cycle of Theophilus of Alexandria.
a.d. 463 Viftorinus of Aquitaine, for Pope Hilarius, had
a cycle commencing with Golden Number V, becaufe
that number of the Metonic Cycle belonged to the fir ft
Supplement to Preface. xli
fix months of 33 Anno Chrijli = 30 Anno Domini, reck¬
oning 1 a.d. from 754 a.u.c. according to the Roman
iyftem of dating the Augujian Era. But as Vidtorinus
made V belong to 463 a.d., the year in which he com¬
menced his cycle, he caufed a difference of three numbers
between his cycle and the Metonic Cycle, hence we have
the " Lunar Cycle of Hilarius " to diftinguifh it from the
other cycles. We thus have XII of the " Lunar Cycle"
belonging to 33 a.d., and the 5th of April is again com¬
memorated with Year-Letter D, as with the previous
cycle [fee p. 134].
a.d. 532 Dionyfius Exiguus commenced his cycle of
19 years with Golden Number I, which number, with
Year-Letter A, would commemorate the 9th of April
(the true date) for Eafter-day Anno Chrijli 33 = Anno
Domini 30. But as Dionyfius made Golden Number I
fall to 532, he caufed XV [the number of the Metonic
Cycle belonging to i a.d. of his reckoning] to fall to 33
Anno Domini — 36 Anno Chrijli, and thus with Year-
Letter D, and Golden Number XV, the 5th of April was
again commemorated for the date of Eafter-day a.d. 33
= a.c. 36, and a difference of three numbers was caufed
by making XV fall to 33 a.d. inftead of XII of the pre¬
vious cycle.
And further,—Dionyfius by making Golden Number I
of his cycle of 19 years fall to 532, made Number II fall
to 1 a.d. of his reckoning, as well as to 533 with the
Year-Letter B, and thus the 27th of March was the date
of Eafter-day for 533 a.d. while the 25th of March, the
date of " the Annunciation" was commemorated for
Good Friday ; hence we have the fuppofititious ftatement
of fome writers, that our Lord luffered on the 25th of
March.
d
xlii Supplement to Preface,
The dates in the Roman and Church Calendar to
which the initial numbers of each of the three cycles
belong, are as follows :—•
the 13th of July, with I of the Metonic Cycle.
16th of July, with I of the Lunar Cycle of Hilarius.
19th of July, with I of the Dionyfian Cycle of 19
years.
So that XV of the Metonic Cycle, and XVIII of the
Lunar Cycle of Hilarius, and II of the Dionyfian Cycle
of 19 years, can be made to fall to 1 Anno Domini = 754
a.u.c.
But notwithftanding the difference between the yeai
of Rome 750, for the true date for 1 Anno Chrijii, and
754 a.u.c., the commencement of the Chriftian Era of
the Roman reckoning, from which I Anno Domini is
dated, there is no neceflity for the difturbance of the
prefent reckoning by imagining, for inflance, that the
year 1869 fhould be called 1872, for it would be inju¬
dicious to make any change, inafmuch as 754 a.u.c. =
1 a.d. = the 28th of Auguftus of the Roman reckoning
after the fecond century, is the fixed point in time to
which all Eras have been adjufted by means of the letters
B.C., (meaning before 1 a.d. = 754 a.u.c.) It is only
neceffary to point out, to thofe who wifh to enquire into
hiftorical fadls conne&ed with the hiftory of the Chriftian
Era at its commencement, that the words of the Gofpels
will be found to fuit only the reckoning of the earlv
Chriftians, who dated the years of Auguftus from the
Battle of A&ium, the date of the foundation of the Era
of the Roman Emperors, viz. 723 A.u.c., by which the
28th of Auguftus, the guiding date for the birth of our
Lord, falls to 750 a.u.c.
The Year.
(fhe Roman Calendar *
N the earlieft times of Rome, the name of
Romulus is commonly attached to the year
which is faid to have then prevailed. Cen-
forinus obferves that the year then confifted
of ten months, in which year January and February had
no place. Macrobius alfo notices that a year of ten
months is implied in the fa£t, that at Laurentum, a
facrifice was offered to Juno Kalendaris on the firft of
every month, except January and February. The ten
months of the year were called Martius, Aprilis, Maius,
Junius, Qurntilis, Sextilis, September, O&ober, Novem¬
ber, and December. That March was the firft month,
is implied in the laft fix names; and even Plutarch, who
afcribes twelve months to the Romulian year, places
Januarius and Februarius at the end. The fa£t that
March was the firft month is alfo confirmed by the

ceremony of rekindling the facred fire in the Temple of
Vefta, on the firft day of March. By the pra&ice of
placing frefh laurels in the public buildings on that day:
and by many other cuftoms recorded by Macrobius.
The Romulian year, if we follow the majority of authors,
contained but 304 days, a period of time, differing fo
widely from the length of the fun's courfe, that the
months would rapidly revolve through all the feafons of
the year. Macrobius obferves that a certain number of
days neceflary to make the year approximate to the length
of the true year had to be intercalated: this intercalated
period Servius fpeaks of as confifting of two months,
which eventually obtained the names of Januarius and
Februarius.
The Calendar of Julius Cafar.
AIUS JULIUS CiESAR, in the year
45 B. c., with the affiftance of Sofigenes,
an Egyptian aftronomer, introduced his re¬
formed Roman Calendar, when the ift of
January was the firft day, and the 31ft of December
the laft day of the year. February was to have 29 days
in fourth years (or leap-years as they are now called),
fo that fuch fourth years might confift of 366 days. The
intercalation of the extra day was made after the dav
marked in the Roman Calendars, " a. d. vj. Kal. Mar-
tiasf which date will be found to correfpond to the
24th of February in our Calendar. This fxth of the
Kalends of Marco was counted twice, hence the term
bifextum has been applied to the intercalary day.
The Calendar of Julius Cafar.
3
The reformation of the Calendar is thus defcribed by
Cenforinus. The confufion was at laft carried fo far,
that C. J. Caefar, the Pontifex Maximus, in his third
Confulate, with Lepidus for his colleague, inferted be¬
tween the months of November and December two
intercalary months (if the intercalated period may be fo
termed), confifting of fixty-feven days, the month of
February having already received an intercalation of
twenty-three days, and thus the whole year was made to
confift of 445 days, which year was called by Macro-
bius, "the laft year of confufion."
It appears that everything connedted with the bufinefs
of intercalations was left to the unreftrained pleafure of
the Pontifices; and the majority of thefe, on perfonal
grounds, added to, or took from the year, capricioufly,
fo as to lengthen or fhorten the period during which a
magiftrate remained in office, and thus to benefit or
injure the farmer of the public revenue to a confiderable
extent. Caefar, therefore, to provide againft this, and the
errors caufed by the fyftem, caft afide the intercalary
month, and adapted the year to the fun's courfe, reckoning
it at 365 days and 6 hours; and in confideration of the
quarter of a day, which he confidered would be neceftary
to complete the true year, he eftablifhed the rule that at
the end of every four years, a fingle day fhould be inter¬
calated where the month had hitherto been inferted ; that
is, immediately after the terminalia, which intercalary
day was at one time called the " bifextumP But thofe
who had to attend to the Calendar (interpreting CaTar's
meaning to be, that the intercalation fhould take place
every fourth year, reckoning according to the Roman
fyftem, which included the firft and laft year) caufed the
intercalation to take place every third year, after the laft

leap-year, and this error prevailed for feveral years after
Caefar's death [44 b.c.] Twelve intercalations had
taken place inftead of nine before the miftake was dis¬
covered, and there had thus been three more days inter¬
calated than had been contemplated when the law was
palled. Sofigenes, being then ftill at Rome, affifted in
the further correction of the Calendar, when, according
to the edi£t of Auguftus, twelve years (/. e. 9 b. c. to
3 a. d. inclufive) were to be reckoned common years, having
each only 365 days. Afterwards the intercalations were
to be made according to Caefar's rule. It thus follows
that the firft bijjextile (or leap-year) after the correction,
was 49 of the Julian Era=4 a.d.
It was probably the original intention of Caefar to
commence the new year with the Ihorteft day, the
winter folftice at Rome, in the year 46 b. c. (common
era), occurring on the 24th of December of the Julian
Calendar. His motive for delaying the commencement
for feven days longer, inftead of taking the following
day, was no doubt the defire to gratify the fuperftition of
the Romans, by caufing the commencement of the firft
year of the Reformed Calendar to fall on the day of the
new moon, for it is found that the mean new moon
occurred at Rome on the ift of January 45 b. c. (com¬
mon era), at 6h. 16m. p.m. In this way alone can the
phrafe ufed by Macrobius be explained : Annum clvilem
Cafar, habitis ad lunam dimenfionibus conjlitutum, ediffo
palam propofito publicavit. The edifit is alluded to by
Plutarch, where he gives the anecdote of Cicero, who,
on being told by fome one that the conftellation Lyra
would rife the next morning, obferved, " Yes, no doubt,
in obedience to the ediCt."
In the year of Julius Caefar, which began on the ift
The Calendar of 'Julias Ctefdr.
of January, and ended on the 31ft of December, the
months were Januarius, Februarius, Martius, Aprilis,
Maius, Junius, Quintilis (afterwards called Julius),
Sextilis (afterwards called Auguftus), September, Octo¬
ber, November, and December. The fervices which
Caefar and Auguftus had conferred upon their country,
by the reformation of the Calendar, feem to have been
the immediate caufes of the compliments paid to them,
by altering the names of two of the months, Julius being
iubftituted, in the fecond Julian year (44 b. c.), for
Ouintilis, the month in which Caefar was born; and
Auguftus for Sextilis, introduced by the Emperor
Auguftus, at the time when he redtified the error in
the mode of intercalating, Anno Auguftano xx. The firft
year of the Auguftan era was 31 b.c., but the year in
which he took the name of Auguftus was 27 b.c. He was
born in September, butgave the preference to the preceding
month, for reafons ftated in the Senatus-confultum, pre-
ferved by Macrobius: 44 Whereas the Emperor Auguftus
44 Caefar, in the month of Sextilis, was firft admitted to
" the Confulate, and thrice entered the city in triumph :
44 And in the fame month the legions, from the Jani-
44 culum, placed themfelves under his aufpices: And in
44 the fame month Egypt was brought under the autho-
44 rity of the Roman people : And in the fame month
44 an end was put to the civil wars : And whereas, for
44 thefe reafons, the faid month is, and has been mo ft
44 fortunate to this Empire, it is hereby decreed by the
44 Senate, that the faid month fhall be called Auguftus!"
A pie bifelt urn to the fame effedt was pafied on the motion
of Tribune Sextus Pucavius.

year which occurred after the correction made by Au-
guftus, is the point of time from which the years may
be faid to have been computed ftrictly according to
the Julian method, and continued until the year 1582,
[15 Odtober,] when the Julian Calendar was corredted
by Pope Gregory XIII., the then reformed Calendar
being recognized as the New Style, a name by which it
has ever fince been known. The New Style, however,
was not adopted in England until the year 1752, when
the day after the 2nd of September was called the 14th
of September, 1752.
New Style,—Gregorian Year.
Calendar of Pope Gregory XIII.
ULIUS Caefar's Calendar was found to be
defective in this particular. The aftrono-
mers of Caefar's time made their calcula¬
tions on the fuppofition that the folar year
(with which it was Caefar's defire that the civil year
Ihould accord) confifted of 365 days and 6 hours, and
omitted to take into account the difference between that
amount of time and the true time of the fun's courfe,
which difference, in each year, amounted to 11 minutes
and 12 feconds ; confequently, in the year 1582 there was
a difference of above 10 days, made up by the accumulation
of the odd minutes. The reformation of the Calendar had
been taken into confideration, at feveral Councils of the
Calendar of Pope Gregory XIII.
Church, in the fifteenth and fixteenth centuries; and at
laft Pope Gregory XIII., having been formally charged
by the Council of 'Trent with the talk of correcting
the Calendar, fucceeded in eftablifhing the new Calen¬
dar in the year 1582, (then, and ever fince, known
as the New Style). Among different propofitions made
to him, he accepted that of Aloyfius Lilius, (phyfician
and mathematician from Calabria), who therefore is to
De confidered as the originator of the New Calendar.
The Pontiff fubmitted the plan of Lilius to the principal
authorities of Europe for their examination, and then
appointed a commiffion of learned men at Rome. The
moft diflinguifhed members of this commiffion were the
German Jefuit, Chriftoph Clavius, one of the greateft
mathematicians of his age, who was born at Bamberg
in 1537, and died at Rome in 1602; Peter Ciacconius
(properly called Chacon), a Spaniard from Toledo, (1525-
1581); and Ignazio Danti, a Dominican from Perugia,
afterwards Bifhop of Alatri, who died in his forty-ninth
year in 1586.
In the Bull of the 24th of February, 1582, the New
Calendar was definitively introduced ; the correction of
the Calendar being effeCted in the following manner.
Ten days were omitted, by calling the day following the
4th of OClober, 1582 the 15th of October, 1582 (the
5th to the 14th of OCtober inclufive, being unwritten in
thofe countries where the New Style was adopted). In
the greater part of Italy and in Spain as well as Portugal
the New Calendar was adopted on the day fixed in the
Papal Bull. France adopted it two months later, paffing
from the 9th to the 20th of December, in accordance
with the ediCt of Henry III. J he Roman Catholic
parts of Switzerland, the Roman Catholic Netherlands,
8 Calendar of Pope Gregory XIII.
and Holland and Zealand, of the Proteftant Netherlands,
followed in 1583. In Germany, the reformation of the
Calendar was difcuffed at the Imperial Diet of Augfburg
in the year 1582, and the Emperor and the Catholic
States of the Empire introduced it in 1583. In Poland
it was adopted in 1586, and in Hungary in 1587.
In Germany, as in other countries, from the time of
the introduction of the New Calendar it was the cuftom
to date public documents with both new and old dates,
when correfpondence was carried on with thofe countries
where the New Style had not been adopted. In places
where Roman Catholics and Proteftants were living
together the difference in the meafurement of time,
caufed by the ufe of the two ftyles—Old and New-—
naturally occafioned confiderable confufion and fome-
times even quarrels. At Augfburg difturbances were
created which lafted feveral years, and are known under
the name of the Calendar-ftrife (Kalenderftreit).
During the negotiations for "the peace of Weft-
phalia" (1648), the Proteftant States were urged in vain
to adopt the Gregorian Calendar; but after the peace of
Ryfwick (1697), when it appeared probable that another
Calendar-quarrel would break out in the Palatinate and
elfewhere, they finally agreed on the 23rd of September,
1699, to introduce a reformed Calendar in the following
year. Accordingly, eleven days were ftruck out of the
Calendar, upon the adoption of the New Style, purfuant
to proclamations iffued for the feveral ftates. This was
done chiefly at the inftigation of the celebrated Leibnitz,
and with the afliftance of the mathematician, Erhard
Wei gel. About the fame time the New Calendar was
adopted in Denmark, and about the year 1696 the change
began in Sweden. In the Proteftant Cantons of Switzer-
Calendar of Pope Gregory XIII.

land the day following the 31ft of December, 1700, was
called the 12th of January, 1701. In England it was in¬
troduced as late as 1752. The Ruffians and other fol¬
lowers of the Greek Church ftill ufe the old Calendar.
Other alterations, befides the omiffion of the ten days,
were alfo ordered by Pope Gregory XIII. to take place
after the year 1582; viz., that of the hundredth years
then to come, only fourth hundredth years were to be
bijfextile or leap-years, having 366 days, (whereof the
year 1600 was the firft); other hundredth years, not
being fourth hundredths, to be confidered common years,
having 365 days, the 29th of February being unwritten.
The New Style of writing dates not having been uni-
verfally adopted in the year 1582, but having been brought
into ufe at different periods of time, in various countries,
the number of days to be left out of the Calendar would
neceffarily be regulated by the date of the adoption of the
New Style in each country,—one day more being re¬
quired to be left out in thofe hundredth years which were
not fourth hundredths,—by the 29th February being un¬
written according to the New Style. The firft hundredth
year, after the adoption of the New Style, which was
to lofe a day by the 29th of February being unwritten
was the year 1700; confequently 11 days were omitted
upon the adoption of the New Style on or after the 19th
of February, 1669-1700, Englifh Old Style, until the
17th of February, 1800, Old Style, inclufive. And it
became apparent that the New Style was in advance of
the Old Style, to the amount of 11 days, on the ift of
March, 1700, New Style, when the day of that date cor-
refponded to the day of the 19th of February, Old Style,—
(in previous leap-years, the day of the 19th of February,
Old Style, having correfponded to the day of the 29th of
10 Calendar of Pope Gregory XIII.
February, New Style). And To, after the introduction
of the New Style, in each hundredth year, which was not
a fourth hundredth year, viz., on the ift of March, 1700
and 1800, one more day increafed the amount of days in
advance of the Old Style, beyond thofe days which had
previoully been left out, as will be the cafe alfo on the
ift of March in the years 1900 and 2100, See.
In England 11 days were omitted, when the New Style
was adopted in the year 1752, the day following Wednef-
day, 2nd of September, being called Thurfday, 14th of
September, (the 3rd to the 13th of that month having
been unwritten in England).
In Ruffia, and in thofe countries where the Greek
Church is upheld, the Old Style being ftill in ufe, there
is, at the prefent time, a difference of 12 days between
dates written according to the two ftyles, Old and New,
in confequence of the 29th of February, 1800, having
been unwritten by the rule governing the New Style.
In England, at an early period of time, the (fo called)
legal year was reckoned from the 25th of March to the
24th of March. And this mode of calculating or writing
the year is fuppofed to have been in ufe in England in
the middle of the twelfth century; it, however, ceafed
with the year 1751, the day following the 31ft of De¬
cember, 1751, being called the ift of January, 1752,
(by authority of the fame A6t of Parliament which
ordered the adoption of the New Style, in September,
1752); by which alteration of the commencement of the
year in England, the year 1751 was minus the days of the
months of January, February, and to the 24th of March
inclufive; that is to fay, there were no Englifh public
documents written with thofe dates in the year 1751,
according to the Englifh legal ftyle.

The year 1900, New Style, being reckoned a common
year, having only 365 days, the 29th of February will be
unwritten, according to the Gregorian fyftern.
In the year 1900, New Style, on the ill of March, and
until the 28th of March, 2100, New Style, the amount of
days in advance of the Old Style will be .... 13 days.
The Chriftian Era.
N the early years of the profeflion of Chrif-
tianity I Anno Chrijli was reckoned from
the year of Rome 750. Our Lord was
born in the 28th year of Auguftus. " Now
" when Jefus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the
<c days of Herod the king." . . . [St. Matthew ch. ii.ver. 1.]
Herod died about three months after the 25th of Decem¬
ber 750 a.u.c. in the fame year of Rome, as it extended
to the 20th of April; and his death occurred between
13th of March and the 14th day of the date of the New
Moon [the 29th of March], reckoning from the 16th of
March, the date of the New Moon, with Golden Num¬
ber XI of the Metonic Cycle, [if we reckon the numbers
of that cycle from July, fo interpreted]. " And it came
" to pafs in thofe days, that there went out a decree from
" Caefar Auguftus, that all the world fhould be taxed "
[St. Luke, ch. ii. ver. 1]. This was in 750 a.u.c., for
the 28th year of Auguftus, of the Alexandrian reckoning,
would fall to 750 A.u.c. when reckoned from the com¬
mencement of the " Era of Auguftus," 723 a.u.c. [fee
" Era of Auguftus"]. The Dionyfian reckoning, the
one we now ufe, makes the 28th of Auguftus fall to 754
a.u.c., by taking the firft year of the Era of Auguftus to
be 727 a.u.c., when the Emperor adopted the name of
The Chrijlian Era.
21
Augustus In place of OiStavius, in the fifth year of the
44 Era," confequently four years after the date obferved
by the early Chriftians. We thus have I Anno Domini of
the Dionyfian reckoning placed four years after the date
which accords with the Gofpels.
The fyftem of reckoning the Chriftian era, now in ufe,
was introduced by Dionylius Exiguus a.d. 533, com¬
mencing with the 25th of March, but fubfequently reckoned
from Chriftmas-day, the 25th of December. And in the
13th century, the year, in fome countries, was reckoned
from the ift of January according to the year of the Julian
era, which preceded the Dionyfian reckoning of 1 Anno
Domini by forty-five years. We thus have the fixed point
in time to which all eras can be adjufted, with the letters
44 B C," fignifying before 1 a.d. 46 of the Julian era,
= 753-4 A.u.c. (in part) = 4714 of the Julian period.
Clement of Alexandria, one of the early Chriftian
writers who flourished towards the end of the fecond cen¬
tury of the Chriftian era, writes as follows :—
(Stromata, book i. ch. xxi.) " And our Lord was born
44 in the 28th year, when firft the cenfus was ordered to
44 be taken in the reign of Auguftus [750 a.u.c. = Ol.
44 194. 1.] And to prove that this is true, it is written
44 in the Gofpel by Luke as follows :—And in the 15th
44 year, in the reign of Tiberius Caefar, the word of the
44 Lord came to John the fon of Zacharias. And again
44 in the fame book :—And Jefus was coming to His
44 baptifm, being about thirty years old [Luke iii. I, 2,
44 23], and fo on. And that it was necefiary for Him to
44 preach only a year. This alfo is written:—He hath
44 fent me to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord
44 [Ifaiah lxi. 1, 2.] This both the prophet fpake and
44 the Gofpel." Accordingly, in fifteen years of Tiberius,
and fifteen years of Auguftus, fo were completed the
22
The Chrijlian Era.
44 thirty years till the time He fuffered And there
44 are thofe who have determined not only the year of
44 our Lord's birth, but alfo the day; and they fay that
44 it took place in the 28th year of Auguftus, and in the
44 25th day of Pachon [= 20 May] (fee Egyptian
44 Calendar.) And the followers of Bafilides hold the
44 day of His baptifm as a feftival, palling the night before
44 in readings. And they fay that it was the 15th year
44 of Tiberius Casfar, the 15th day of the month of Tubi
44 [= 10 January] ; and fome that it was the nth of the
44 fame month [ = 6 January.] And treating of His pajjion,
44 with very great accuracy, jome fay that it took place in
44 the ibth year of Tiberius, on the 25th of Phamenoth
44 [= 21 March]; and others the 25th of Pharmuthi
44 [= 20 April] ; and others fay that on the 19th of
44 Pharmuthi [=14- April] the Saviour fullered. Further,
44 others fay that He was born on the 24th or 25th of
44 Pharmuthi [= 19 or 20 April]." [For thefe corre-
fponding dates fee Egyptian Calendar ]
The year of the birth of our Lord thus being affigned
by Clement of Alexandria to 750 A.u.c. = 28th of
Auguftus; and the year of the Crucifixion, according to
the fame authority, being the 32nd (underftood to mean
32 Anno Chrijii = 29 Anno Domini) in the 16th year of
Tiberius, it is important to obferve the fyftem by which
the years of the Roman Emperors were reckoned; and
it appears that the pradtice in Alexandria, when noting
the years of the reign of a Roman emperor, was to
begin reckoning a new year of an emperor's reign, on
new year's day, which in Egypt had coincided with the
29th of Auguft, from the time of the alteration of the
Calendar in the 5th year of Auguftus. So that when it
is ftated that an event occurred in a particular year of the
The Chrijlian Era.
23
reign of a Roman emperor ; the firft year being; reckoned
from the acceffion, we muft bear in mind the mode of
reckoning the years, obferved on Alexandrian coins, by
which a new year of the reign commenced on new
year's-day, the 29th of Auguft [—1 Thoth.] For ex¬
ample,—Elagabalus [Heliogabalus] reigned three years
and nine months of folar years, and yet we have coins
dated in his fifth year.
But if we follow the Roman fyftem of reckoning com¬
plete folar years, when a reign extended fufficiently far,
we fhall find that January of the 16th year of Tiberius,
was in the year of Rome 782, when the confuls who then
entered office were L. Rubellius Geminus and C. Fufius
Geminus. For, as the year of Rome ended on the 20th
of April, the month of January would be towards the clofe
of the year of Rome, while it was the initial month of
the Roman year, called the Julian year; confequently
" January" 782 A.u.c. would be now written 30 Anno
Domini — 33 Anno Chrijii.
LaEfantius, a Latin father of the Church, whom Con-
ftantine made tutor to his fon Crifpus, ftates that the
crucifixion of our Lord took place during the confulate
juft noticed, in the fpring of the year. The words of
St. Matthew apply to 30 a.d. when taken in connexion
with the date of the Jewifh feftival, " the PafTover,"
which began on the 14th day of the firft month, and
extended over feven days [Exodus, ch. xii. ver. 18]. The
date of the new moon of the vernal equinox, being new
year's-day of the Jewifh Ecclefiaftical year [a.d. 30,
March 22 and 23 = 1 Nifan].

Note. — By the
reckoning of Dio-
nyfius, the firft
year of Auguftus
falls to the fifth
year of the battle
of AfHum; and the
whole reign thus
confifts of but 40
years inftead of
44.
* St. Matthew, ch. ii. ver. J9-22]. " Herod is dead, and Archelaus reigns in his ftead."
Note. Herod died A.u.c. 750, between the 13th and the 29th of March, nearly three months after the birth
of our Lord, 750 A.U.C.
The Chrijlian Era.
25
We thus fee, by the preceding tabular ftatements, that
the dates quoted agree with hiftorical fails, but that
the date taken by Dionyfius for the firft year of the
Chriftian era, as it is made to correfpond to the year of
Rome 754 [i.e. 753-4], falls three years fihort of the year
given by Clement of Alexandria for I Anno Ghrijti.
The Dionyfian fyftem of dating from the Incarnation
of our Lord was ufed by the Saxons, as the following
extrail from a Saxon Charter dated in the year 676,
lhows:—
Saxon Charter No. XII.
Ofric of the Hwiccas in a Charter of the 6th of
November, 676, dates thus, 44 anno recapitulationis Dio-
" nyfii, id eft, ab incarnatione dni nri Jefu Ghrijti, fex-
44 cent efimo feptuagefimo fexto. IndiSiione quart a; Menje
Novembris 8° idus Novembris." [= Thurfday 6 Novem¬
ber, 676 A. D.]
The Chriftian era, according to the reckoning of
Dionyfius, is faid to have been generally adopted in
England in the ninth century, for by a Canon of the
Council of Chelfea [27 July 816], it was ordained that
all bifhops fhould date their aits from the year of the
Incarnation of the Saviour. The years of the Chriftian
era are defcribed in ancient writings as the years "of
Grace;" "of the Incarnation;" " of our Lord;'? 44 of
the Nativity;" 44 of the Circumcifion;" and 44 of the
Crucifixion.
The Year-Letter,
and the Dominical or Sunday-Letter.
EVEN letters, viz. A, G, F, E, D, C, B,
are the Year-letters which ferve to indi¬
cate the initial days of the year, in the fol¬
lowing order,—A, Sunday; G, Monday;
F, Tuefday; E, Wednefday; D,Thurfday; C, Friday;
and B, Saturday : and as the Year-letters with the Julian
years follow the courfe of the fun they are repeated after
the completion of the folar cycle, i. e. 28 years.
The length of the folar year was confidered by Julius
Caefar and the aftronomer Sofigines to be 365 days and 6
hours. Thefe odd hours were allowed to accumulate until
they amounted to a day, and then were added to the year
to complete what was thought to be the true Civil Year,
fo that in every fourth year, according to Julius Caefar's
order, a day lhould have been intercalated, counting the
day marked in the Roman Calendar " a. d. vj. Kalend.
Martias" twice in fuch fourth years. Hence the term
hifextum has been applied to the extra day, and the term
bijfextile to the year now called leap-year, the extra day
being known as the 29th of February fince the difplace-

27
ment of the Roman divifions of the Calendar and the in¬
troduction of the Chriftian dates by Dionyfius [a. d. 532].
With refpedt to the uie of the letters by the Romans for
marking the days of the year, eight letters appear to
have been ufed, viz. A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H,
forming divifions of eight days1; this is fhown in an
ancient Calendar infcribed on marble [fee Epitome Ortho¬
graphies, Venetiis, CI3. If). XC. p. 207.]
The Dominical Letter.
Dionyfius Exiguus, a Scythian monk, in the year 532
of the Chriftian era, introduced the fyftem of dating from
the Incarnation of our Lord, now written Anno Domini,
[fee The Chriftian Era].
The feven days of the week, Dionyfius indicated by
letters A, B, C, D, E, F and G, which were fixed to
1 "Among the many marks which ftamped the Jews as a pecu-
" liar people, fabhath obfervance was perhaps the one mark moft
" diftinitive and conlpicuous. A Greek had his religious feaft, a
" Syrian his gathering in the temple, an Egyptian his facrifices and
" his prayers.
" But no other people in the world had a feventh day of peculiar
" fanftity, a God's day, on which no man would labour for the
" things that perilh. The Greek knew no Sabbath. The Philiftine
" never ceafed from his plough, the Sidonian from his fhip. In
" Tiberias, in Ptolemais, one day was like another day. A divifion
" of time into weeks was unknown in Athens, and became known
" in Rome only when the legions, learning it from the people of
" Alexandria, carried it weftward from the Nile."
The Holy Land., by Dixon, vol. ii. p. 115.
28
The Dominical Letter.
the days of the year, in a conftantly recurring order,
beginning with letter A, for the iff of January, and fo
on to letter G, when letter A would appear with the 8th
of January, as well as with the 31ft of December;
fo that upon the completion of a year, as the days palled
on, the Sundays in one year would fall againft a different
letter, retrograding:—thus, in a year beginning with
Sunday on the iff of January the letter A would be the
Dominical letter, and in the next year, if it were a com¬
mon year, compofed of 52 weeks and 1 day, Monday
would fall to the iff of January, and the Dominical letter in
that year would be G, and thus the letters would be found
to have retrograded in each year. But in a leap-year
with 52 weeks and 2 days, when two letters were needed
to accommodate the 29th of February, there was an inter¬
ruption in the order of the Dominical letters. In ancient
Calendars it will be feen that in a leap-year the 24th
of February and the 25th of February, the bifextum,
both fall to the letter " F [by Statute 40 Henry III,
a.d. 1256, thofe two days were ordered to be reckoned
as one day, for legal purpofes ;] and thofe days falling
to the fame letter, the Dominical or Sunday letter in a
leap-year changes after the 24th of February; confe-
quently, when the letters G F, are found to be the Sun¬
day letters, the fecond letter (F) will be obferved to
have become the Sunday letter, or the 25th of February.
In corroboration of this ftatement the " Record" of
the coronation of Edward the Second affords conclufive
evidence. The coronation is ftated to have taken place
" on Sunday next after the feaft of St. Peter in Cathedra
" [22 Feb.] a.d. 1307. Dominical letter F," which date
will be feen to be the 25th of February, with the Year-
letters GF, for the year 1307-8.

The above " Record" alfo ferves to fhow that the
Englifh legal year was written in place of the " Julian
Year," (which laft, by the bye, has often been vaguely
called " the hijiorical yeary ') and if any further evidence
be neceflary to prove that the Englifh legal year alone
was written, the " Memoranda " taken from the Calendar
belonging to the " Black Book" of the Treafury of the
Receipt of the Exchequer, mull be fufficient to fatisfy
all fceptical minds.
The Sundays falling, year after year, to different letters,
there will be, of courfe, the correfponding changes of
letters for the other days of the week to be noticed.
And particular attention fhould be paid to thefe changes
of letters, as a pradlice prevailed for feveral centuries
of giving the letter belonging to the day of the week, in
addition to the guide to the date, (/. e. the Saint's-day,)
when an important event was recorded, {e.g. obferve
the " Record" of the coronation of Edward II. above
quoted).

Rule for fnding the Year-Letter.
Note.—The rule for finding the year-letter for the Old
Style is not to apply to years before 8 a. d., in confe-
quence of an error having prevailed for feveral years
after Caefar's death, when the intercalations were made
in third inftead of fourth years, after the laft leap-year.
The lift of year-letters, from the year 45 b. c. to the
Rule for finding the Tear-Letter. 31
year 8 a. d. will, however, obviate any inconvenience
which might have arifen from the non-application of the
rule for finding the year-letter.
Julian or Old Style.
In England before 3-14 Sept., 1752, ?,<?., until the
2nd of September,
Add to the year of our Lord (beginning on the ift of
January, and ending on the 31ft of December), the
fourth part of the year's number, omitting fractions, add
alfo 5 ; then divide by 7, and if there be any remainder,
the letter under fuch number, in the following table, will
be the Y ear-letter.

If there be no remainder, A, will be the Year-letter.
Example.—Required the letter for the year 1648.
Note.—The Julian year, beginning ift of January and
ending 31ft of December, is the year for the calculation,
notwithftanding the legal mode of reckoning the year in
England, from the 25th of March to the 24th of March.
(In 1752, in England, the year began on the ift of
January and ended on the 31ft of December.)
4)1648
412* When there is no remainder after
5 dividing by 4, the year is a Leap-
year, and has two Year-letters, the
letter which in the table precedes
the one found by the calculation,
being the firft letter. (This alfo
applies to the New Style.)

Thus 1648. Letters B, A.
B, to point to January on the moveable calendar, for
days from ift of January to 29th of February, the year
being 1647-8, Englifli Style.
A, to point to January for days from the ift of March
to the 24th of March, the year being 1647-8, Englifli
Style; alfo, for days from the 25th of March to the 31ft
of December, 1648, Englifli Style.
Gregorian, or New Style.
In certain foreign countries, the day after the 4th of
October was called the 15th of October, 1582, ten days
having been unwritten in the Calendar. (In England
the day after the 2nd of September, was called the 14th
of September, 1752, eleven days having been omitted
from the Calendar.)
Add to the year of our Lord, (beginning ift of
January and ending 31ft of December,) the fourth part
of its number, omitting fra&ions; add alfo the number
which in the following table ftands at the top of the
column, wherein the "hundreds" of the year will be
found.

calculation, being the firft letter.
Thus, 1753, letter G.
Which is to point to January on the moveable Calen¬
dar for days from 1 January to 31 December.
Note.—According to the regulation of Pope Gregory,
for the adoption of the New Style, the years 1600, and
2000, being fourth hundredth years, and bijfextile or Leap-
years, have each, two Year-letters j while the years
1700, 1800, and 1900, have each only one Year-letter,
thofe laft years not being fourth hundredth years, but
being reckoned common years according to the New
Style.

Roman and Church Calendar,
with hiftorical notes,
from the
Black Book of the Exchequer.
S part of the original library of the Treafury
of the Receipt of the Exchequer, we may
reckon the volume, termed the " Black
Book" from the colour of its ancient bind¬
ing, well known by that name. It contains :—
I. A lift of Dominical Letters, extending from the
year 1184 to the year 1715.
II. A Calendar or Almanac for the twelve months of
the year, in which, at various periods, fhort notices or
memoranda have been introduced, of remarkable occur¬
rences, fuch as births and deaths of kings, battles,
appointments of treafurers, chamberlains, and other
officers of the exchequer.
III. Drawings in outline (apparently coeval with the
Calendar), viz., the Eagle, the emblem of St. John; the
Bull, the emblem of St. Luke; an Angel, the emblem
of St. Matthew; and a winged Lion, the emblem of
St. Mark; accompanied by verfes from the feveral gofpels.
" It is poffible," fays Sir Francis Palgrave, in his account
"Roman and Church Calendar. 69
of the Calendars and Inventories of H. M. Exchequer,
" that thefe reprefentations and verfes were ufed for the
" purpofe of adminiftering an oath, as upon the gofpels."
In the cabinet of M. Baudot at Dijon was to be feen, in
1815, a volume, if it can be fo called, confifting of four
wooden tablets, containing paintings or reprefentations
of the Evangelifts, together with the initial verfes of each
gofpel, upon which the ancient Dukes of Burgundy took
the oath of inauguration. Tablets of the fame defcription
are ftill ufed for the purpofe of adminiftering the oaths in
fome of the London companies.
IV. Entries of writs, and official memoranda, made
from time to time, evidently to ferve as precedents.
The precife year when the " Calendar of the Black
Book" was begun, cannot be given with certainty. The
earlieft memorandum in it records the death of King
John [a.d. 1216] noted thus, " O. R. J." written in a
church text hand, fimilar to that in ufe at the time of
King John. From the colour of the ink, the character
of the handwriting, and other fimilar circumftances, all
the entries appear to be coeval with the events which
they commemorate. The Dominical Letter "D,"
which appears in the margin on each page of the Calen¬
dar, ferves fomewhat as a guide to the year when the
Calendar was begun, probably in one of the following
years, 1187, 1198, 1209, or I2I5» to which the Letter
" D " belongs.
The following tranflations have been made as well
from the " memoranda " in the Black Book, as from an
Exchequer book of Fifteenths and Tenths, which laft
book bears date 3 Henry 5.
Thefe memoranda are evidences of the fa£t that the
year beginning on the 25th of March, known as the
7°
Roman and Church Calendar.
Englifh legal year, was written, and not the Julian
year.

Roman and Church Calendar.
HE accompanying Roman and Church Calen¬
dar has been compiled from the Calendar in
the 44 Black Book," and from one in the
u Exchequer Book of Fifteenths and Tenths,"
written in the third year of Henry the Fifth, and being
made for a Leap-year, with the Year-letters G F, the
25th of February appears to have the letter F, according to
the rule, by which the extra day, and the preceding day in
a Leap-year,—i. e. the 25th and 24th of February,—were
marked with the fame letter. As corroborative evidence
of the fa6l that the change of the Dominical letter took
place after the 24th of February in a Leap-year, the
record of the coronation of Edward the Second, taken
from the 44 Clofe Roll," 1 Edward II., has been given
(fee p. 29); in which Record the ceremony is ftated to
have been performed on 44 Sunday next after the Feaft of
St. Peter in Cathedra [Feb. 22], 1307, Dominical letter
F," which would be the 25th of February, (the bifextum),
in the Julian year 1308.

French Republican Calendar.
T was decreed by the convention, on the
24th of November, 1793, that the common
era fhould be abolifhed in all civil affairs ;
and that the new French era fhould com¬
mence from the foundation of the Republic, namely, on
the 22nd of September, 1792; the firft year of the French
Republic, beginning at midnight between the 21ft and
22nd of September, 1792, and ending at midnight
between the 2ift and 22nd of September, 1793; and
that Leap-year, which was called an Olympic year, fhould
take place every four years.
The Republican Calendar was firft ufed on the 26th
of November, 1793, and was difcontinued on the 31ft of
December, 1805, when the Gregorian Calendar was
again ufed.
The French Republican year was divided into twelve
months,—each month having thirty days ; the additional
days neceffary to complete a year, being placed at the
end of the laft month, and called, " Jours complemen-
taires," which were celebrated as feftivals, and which
obtained the name of " Sanfculottides
From the commencement of the Republican Calendar

until the year 1800 (in England), the firft Vendemiaire

confequence of that year being a common year accord¬
ing to the Gregorian fyftem, though a Leap-year accord¬
ing to the French Republican Calendar, days and dates
after the 28th of February, 1800, correfponded to the
Grei?orian dates one day later; and the commencement

The Gregorian Calendar was again ufed on the lft of
January, 1806, and the French Republican Calendar difcon-
tinued.
Calendar of the "Society of Friends."
HE " Friends" reckoned their year from
the 25th of March, before the year 1752,
and January was called the eleventh month.
But when the commencement of the year
was altered by Statute 24 George II., c. 23, the
" Friends " obferved the A<ft, and called January the
firft month of the year 1752.
The recommendation of the committee appointed to
confider what advice fhould be given to the "Friends"
in relation to the Statute in queftion, on the oiniffion of
eleven days in the Calendar, was, that the " Society of
Friends" fhould obferve the directions of the ACt of
Parliament, and omit the faid eleven nominal days; which
being approved by the yearly meeting, the report was
communicated to the quarterly and monthly meetings of
" Friends " in Great Britain, Ireland, and America, and
was univerfally adopted by them.
The name of the week-day is not ufed by the
"Friends;" but each day is called by its proper number
in the following order :—
1 ft day, Sunday.
2nd day, Monday.
3rd day, Tuefday.

* The year 1751 ceafed with the 10th month, and the year 1752
began with January for the ift month.
The Golden Numbers*
of the Metonic Lunar Cycle, and the Dionyfian Cycle
of 19 years.
ETON, the aftronomer, was living at
Athens, in the firft year of the 87th
Olympiad [13 July], and then introduced
a fyftem by which the date of the Calendar
New Moon could be noted by means of numbers one to
nineteen; each number ferving to reprefent a folar year.
It was fuppofed that 235 lunations would complete the
cycle of 19 folar years, therefore feven lunations were
introduced in the Metonic Cycle: For 19 years of 12
lunations would contain but 228 lunations [19 X 12 —
228], this addition of feven thus caufed certain years to
have 13 lunations.
Before the introduction of the Metonic Cycle, the
Greeks had a cycle of 8 years, in which 90 days were
intercalated by 22 or 23 days in alternate years. This
addition of 90 days in a cycle of 8 years, conftfting of
Lunar years of 354 days, would have amounted to 114
days to each year [90 •— 8]: the Romans, therefore,
might have pofleffed a correCt Calendar if they had
followed this plan.
* Golden Number, or " Prime.'" The numbers of the Metonic
Cycle obtained the name " Golden,'''' from being written in gold.
The " Prime " is only applicable, for the time being, to the number
in uie for the current year.
The Golden Numbers.
Calippus of Cyzicus invented a cycle four times the
period of Meton, all but one day, making up 76 years
within a day ; and in 330 B.C. it took the place of the
Metonic Cycle, which had been found to be incorreft,
probably on account of the imperfe£t folar years adopted
for the calculations; for when ufed with the J ulian Ca¬
lendar, the fyftem of the Metonic Cycle was found fuffi-
ciently correct for the Chriftian Church during more than
one thoufand years. The continuity of the reckoning of
the numbers of the Metonic Cycle, taking each number
to reprefent a year, was difturbed by Pope Hilarius a.d.
463, and afterwards by Dionyfius a.d. 532, but from that
time the pofitions of the numbers remained unchanged
until the introdu£lion of the Gregorian Calendar in 1582,
when it was neceflary to fhift the numbers to fuit the
New Style. [See p. 126.]

The Golden Numbers.
The Dionyfian Cycle of 19 years.
HE Golden Numbers of this cycle hold the
pofitions in the Chriftian Calendars for the
Old Style which they obtained upon their
introduction by Dionyfius a.d. 532, when
Golden Number I. was taken by him for that year, with
which to continue the Pafchal Cycle of Vi&orinus, and
made to correfpond to XIV. of the Metonic Lunar Cycle,
and XVII. of the Lunar Cycle of Pope Hilarius: the
new cycle then introduced has been fince known as the
Dionyfian Cycle of 19 years. It was ufed by the Chrif¬
tian Church for determining the date of Eafter-day, which
was regulated by the calendar new moon of the Vernal
Equinox, indicated by the Golden Number for the year,
and ferved that purpofe for the 6Id Style until the pofitions
of the numbers were changed to fuit the New Style with
the Gregorian Calendar. A table of correfponding num¬
bers is given in another place with the Chriftian era [fee
" Eras"], by which it appears thatl. of the Metonic Cycle
belongs to the 13th of July, I. of the Lunar Cycle of Pope
Hilarius to the 16th of July, and I. of the Dionyfian Cycle
of 19 years to the 19th of J uly. The Paffover of the Jews
was alfo regulated by the new moon of the Vernal Equinox,
which in 29 a. d. = the 15th year of Tiberius, was on the
2nd of April with Golden Number V. of the Metonic Cycle
[=VIII. of the Lunar Cycle of Pope Hilarius = XI. of the
The Golden Numbers. 119
Dionyfian Cycle, reckoning retrofpe&ively] j and as the
firft month of the lewifh ecclefiaftical year was the
month of Nifan, commencing with the new moon juft
mentioned, the fourteenth day of which was the full
moon and the day of the Paffover of the Jews, the 14th
of Nifan 32 a. c. = 29 a. d. thus correfponded to the
15th of April.
By the rule obferved at the Council of Nice [325]
Eafter-day was to be on the Sunday after the 14th of
the moon called the full moon, and if the full moon
ihould fall on a Sunday Eafter-day was to be on the
Sunday following, and thus the date for the Chriftian
celebration of Eafter did not clafti with the 14th of the
moon upon which the Jews kept their Paffover.
The early Chriftians appear to have difputed about the
proper mode of keeping Eafter. The Montanifts are
faid to have kept Eafter on a fixed day. The Eaftern
Chriftians celebrated Eafter on the 14th of the moon
indicated by the Golden Number; while the Weftern
Chriftians obferved the Sunday following the full moon
for Eafter-day: the two fides pleading two different
apoftolic traditions, but both calculating the new moon
by aid of the Golden Numbers of the Lunar cycle. The
letters of Popes Pius and Viiftor on the fubjedt in the
fecond century ferve to fhow that the Weftern Churches
obferved the Sunday after the 14th day of the moon.
The Council of Nice in the year of Rome 1078 =
325 a.d. iffued the following announcement in their
epiftle to the Church of Alexandria, preferved by So¬
crates, the ecclefiaftical hiftorian [born at Conftantinople,
towards the end of the 4th century], "We alfo fend you
" good news concerning the unanimous confent of all,

" feaft of Eafter; for this difference alfo has been made
" up by the affiftance of your prayers: fo that all the
" brethren in the Eaft, who formerly celebrated this fefti-
" val at the fame time as the Jews, will in future conform
" to the Romans and to us, and to all who have of old
" obferved our manner of celebrating Eafter."
It appears however that feveral cycles were introduced
for determining the date of Eafter-day, before the ffxth
century, when Dionyfius Exiguus introduced his cycle,
which remained in ufe fo long as the Old Style was ob¬
ferved ; for Theophilus of Alexandria in the year 380 =
1133 a.u.c. had a cycle of 437 years; Cyril of Alexan¬
dria in 412 = 1165 a.u.c. had a cycle of 95 years, which
obtained great celebrity; and Vidtorinus* of Aquitaine
was the author of the cycle of 532 years, and was em¬
ployed by Pope Hilarius to corredt the Calendar in the
year 463 = 1216 a.u.c. The authority for this account
of Vidlorinus is his contemporary, Gennadius, who
mentions as his predeceflors in the art of cycle making,
Hippolytus (ante Nicene), Eufebius, Theophilus and
Profper.
The fyftem which determines the pofftions of the
Golden Numbers of the Dionyftan Cycle of nineteen fears
in our Julian Calendars for the Old Style is one by which
the date of the new moon was fuppofed to take place at
alternate intervals of 30 and 29 days; and if we begin
with Golden Number I. on the 13th of December \Pojei-
* The writings of Viftorinus, with all others of note relating to
the Calendars both ante-Nicene and ante-Gregorian, are found in
the " DoSrina Temporum" of the Jefuit ^Tgidius Bucherius, Antwerp,
1634.. Viftorinus has fometimes been confounded with Vidtor the
Pope, and the cycle of Vklorinus has been improperly called the
Vidtorian Cycle.

deon]* we fliall find that Golden Number II. will come
into ufe at the end of 30 days, to mark a new year on
the 12th of January : [the numbers of the Lunar Cycle
of Pope Hilarius, ufed in Saxon charters, commence on
the 16th of July, hence I. of that cycle correfponds to IV.
of the Dionyfian Cycle of 19 years. And here we may
point out, that it is very material to recoiled!: that the
moon or lunation of a month is not that which begins,
but that which ends, in the month. This is fhown in
the Roman and Church Calendar, where the Golden
Numbers will be obferved to have recurred throughout
the Julian Year at the intervals ftated, except in the 19th,
2nd, 5th, 8th, 10th, 13th, and 16th years of the Lunar
Cycle of Pope Hilarius; and the 3rd, 5th, 8th, nth,
13th, 16th, and 19th years of the Dionyfian Cycle of 19
years, beginning with the year 532 = 1285 a.u.c., an
intercalary moon of 30 days being introduced feven times
in each cycle, more particularly to be noticed prefently.
Each year will be obferved in the Roman and Church
Calendar to have begun with another number, until 19
folar years have been run out, and the cycle completed;
when Golden Number I. of the Dionyfian Cycle comes
again into ufe, at our firft ftarting point, the 13th of
December of the Julian Year (for the Old Style), while
Number I. of the Lunar Cycle, obferved in Saxon charters,
appears with the 16th of July.

122 The Golden Numbers.
The date of a new moon, indicated by any number of
the Dionyfian Cycle, or of the other cycles, differs from
the date of the appearance of the new moon of the hea¬
vens, therefore the dates reprefented by the Golden
Numbers are known as thofe which indicate the Calen¬
dar New Moony reckoning in the following order 30 and
29 days alternately for the Julian year,—
January 30 days

Pafchal Term.
OURTEEN days of the " Calendar" new
moon of the Vernal Equinox, called the
Pafchal moon, is the date of the Pafchal
Term, or full moon.
The date of the " Calendar" new moon is always on
one of the days from the 8th of March to the 5th of
April, both inclufive. It follows, therefore, that the firft
day on which the Pafchal Term, or full moon, can hap¬
pen, muft be the 21 ft of March, that being fourteen days
of the 8th of March ; and the laft day, the 18th of April,
that being fourteen days of the 5th of April.
Pafchal Cycle.
This cycle is compofed of 532 years, on the comple¬
tion of which, the Eafter-days recur in the fame order as
before, if the cycle of Golden Numbers be not changed.
The Solar cycle 28, and the Lunar cycle 19, multiplied
together make the cycle of 532 years.

Auguft), in the prefence of Conftantine the
Great, fon of Conftantius, Emperor of the
Eaft,—the queftion, touching the day for the celebration
of the Feaft of Eafter, was fettled. It was to be kept
on the firft Sunday after the firft " Calendar " full moon,
happening upon, or next after, the 21ft of March; and
if the full moon happened on a Sunday, Eafter-day was

Day alone is given, the day of the month upon which
the " Calendar" full moon happened having been omitted
in order to fimplify the tables. The date of the " Calen¬
dar" new moon can, however, be found by referring to
the Roman and Church Calendar and the table for the

ber for the year; while the " Calendar" full moon will

Advent Sunday, fee Alphabetical Lift of Saints' days.
L
Concerning Feafts and Holy-days.
An alphabetical arrangement of the names of the principal
Saints or canonized, perfons, with the commemorative datesy
ufually obferved: as well as of other names by which cer¬
tain days, &c. are defcribed in ancient writings.
Saints' Days, Sec.
ARTYRS to the Chriftian caufe, who fuf-
fered death rather than renounce their re¬
ligious opinions ; and others called " con-
feflors," who, having made a profefiion of
their faith, endured fufferings Ihort of death ; are the
chief names which appear in the lift of Saints'-days, and
feftivals of the Church : and thefe names are frequently
met with on the Public Records, in the place of precife
dates. But appearing, as they do, without the comme¬
morative dates, they ferve only as guides to a certain
extent; for, even when the day of the month is known,
the day of the week has to be determined by means of the
Perpetual Calendar and Year-letter.
For example:—" Wednefday before the feafl of the
tranfation of St. Thomas the Martyr" is frequently to
be met with, and is fo vague, even when the yea«- is
Feajis and Holy-days. 147
known, that few perfons, having no other guide, would
know what date it was intended to reprefent. But when
it can be feen that the day of " St. Thomas the Martyr"
fhould be commemorated on the 7th of July, the precife
day of the week belonging to the date given can be eafily
determined for any year, when the Year-letter is known.
With this explanation, the neceflity for knowing the
dates upon which the feveral feftivals were ufually ob-
ferved, will be apparent.
The following lift of Saints' days has been compiled,
chiefly from a very ancient Calendar in the " Black
Book" of the Receipt of the Exchequer, which book is
fully defcribed at pp. 68, 69 of this volume.
The Vigil or Eve of a feaft is the evening of the day,
before the date of the feaft.
The Morrow of a feaft is the day following the feaft.
The u thirdly" "fourth," &c. of a feaft includes the feaft;
e.g. Eafter-day is the third day of Good Friday, /. e. the
fecond day after: thus, the fourth of the feaft of St. Michael
(29 Sept.) is the 2nd of O&ober. The u fourth" day of
the " Odtave" of St. Michael is the 9th of OcStober (the
O(Slave of 29 Sept. being the 6th of GcStober.
The u Odlave" or "Utas" of a feaft, (ufually written
u in Odiabisy GV."), is the eighth day, including the feaft,
i. e. the feventh day after the feaft, e. g. " in Odlabis S.
Michaelis" (29 Sept.) means the 6th of Odtober.
The fuin%aine y fuinfme or fuindifrney or uin quindena"
is, according to the fame rule, the fourteenth day after
the given feaft. (In the cafe of Eafter, the Ouinzaine is
[aid to begin on the eighth day before, and to end on the
eighth day after, Eafter-day. See " UArt de verifier les
dates.")

Solar Regulars and Concurrents.
OLAR Regulars are certain fixed numbers
attached to the months of the Julian and
Gregorian years. Thefe Regulars have
been cuftomarily ufed with the u Concur¬
rents ," [which are certain other fixed numbers corre-
fponding to the feven Year-Letters,] for afcertaining the
day of the week of the firft day of any month in the year
to which the Year-Letter belongs, from 9 a.d. with
Year-Letter F, Concurrent 1, for any Julian Year; and
from 1 Nov. 1582 a.d. with the Year-Letter for any
Gregorian year.

S common years confift of 52 weeks and 1 day,
and Leap or bijfextile years have 52 weeks
and 2 days, in order that the civil year may
concur with the Solar year, the term " Con¬
current" is appropriate, when ferving to defignate any
one of the fupernumerary days, by means of a number,
regulated by the Year-Letter, for the year to which
either of the extra days may belong. We thus have the
letters and numbers in the following order:—F 1 j E 2 j

The EpaB.
The following rule for finding the Epa£t for any year
[Old Style 532 to 1582 a.d.] is given in a book* entitled
" A briefe treatife, containing many proper tables and eafie
4v rules: verie necejfarie and needefullfor the ufe and
41 commoditie of all people : collected out of certain learned
44 works."
For the EpadL
44 The Epa£t or Concurrent + is thus found : Multiply
44 the Prime [/. e. the Golden Number for the Julian
" year in queftion] by 11, [that being the difference be-
44 tween the Lunar year of 354 days and the Solar year
44 of 365 days]: and take away 30, and the reft is the
44 concurrent or Epadt. As, for example 1588,—12 is
44 the Golden Number, which, multiplied by 11, makes
44 132; which divided by 30, reftith 12, ye Epadf for
44 this prefent yeere" [1588], i.e. from 1 March 1588 to
the end of February 1588-9 inclufive.]
44 Or thus more eaftly.
44 Ye muft imagin 3 places, and on the thombe mo ft
44 fitly, that is the root of the thombe ye firft, and the
44 middle joynt the fecond, and the toppe of the thombe
44 the third, then in the firft place, which is the roote
44 of the thombe, put this number 10, and in the middle
44 joynt of the thombe 20. and at the toppe 30. this put
44 in memorie, [for] by ye order of thefe places fhalbe
* At London : Printed by John Charlwood, for Thomas Adams,
I59I>
f This term, "concurrent," is not equivalent to the term "con¬
current " ufed with the Solar Regulars.
The Epaff.
" counted the Golden Number : as one in the fir ft place
" or roote, and two in the fecond or middle joynt, and
t£ three in the third place, then To returning, fet 4, on
u the roote or firft place, 5, on the fecond, &c. till
" ye come to the Golden Number for the yeere, for
" the which you feeke, and the number of that place
" muft be joyned with the Golden Number of the yeere,
u and that, that it amounts to, fhal be the Epa6t, fo that
u it pafle not 30, but if it paffe 30, let goe 30, and the
" remain is your requeft. As in this example I will
expreffe it more plain[ly]."
" In the yeere of our Lord God, 1588. the Prime is
" 12, which counted by the faid three places of the
" thombe, endeth at the third, where this number 30, is
" placed, which both added [and deducting 30], make
" 12, the very Epadfc for this prefent yeere, &c. And
" note that the Epadt beginnith the firft day of March,
" and the Dominicall Letter and Prime, the firft of
" January."
To know the age of the Moone.
" {[ The Epadt knowne, to know the age of the
" Moone ye muft have three numbers. The firft is the
" Epadt, the fecond the number of the months from
" March (including both), the third ye dayes of that
" month pafled, then joyne thefe three numbers together
" if they rife not to 30, fo old is the Moone j if they
u pafle 30, being left, they alfo are the age of the Moone,
" this is meant by the monethes that have 31 dayes, for
" in them that have but 30 dayes the conjundtion is at
" the 29 day, and they that pafle 29, are the age as
" before."
172
The Rpaci.
As for example [in a month of 31 days of a Solar Year],
44 C This yeere [1588] for the 15, of Auguft, I would
44 know the age of the Moone. Firft the Epadl is 12,
44 and the monthes from March to Auguft, are 6,—and
44 15 the day of the month, which all put together makes
44 33, from whence take 30, and there refts 3, the age
44 of the Moone that day."
44 Another example [in a month of 30 days of a
44 Solar Year].
44 <[ For the 18 of Septem: the Epadt being 12, the
44 monethes 7, and dales 18, added together, makes 37,
44 from whence take 29 for Sept. hath but 30 dayes, and
44 there refts 8, the age of the Moone for that day, and
44 in like manner fhal wee give to February 29 dayes of
44 the Moone."

Law Terms.
ORMED from the canonical conftitutions
of the Church, we have now the four terms,
Hilary, Eafter, Trinity and Michaelmas;
known as thofe periods of the year when
the judges are accuftomed to fit in court to hear and
determine caufes.
The following tranflations, of entries on the " Curia
Regis" rolls of the reign of Richard the Firft [a.d. 1194],
will indicate the derivation of the names of the Law
Terms.

" Pleas &c. at Weftminfter 011 the morrow of St. Hillary.
„ „ in fifteen days of Eafter (Pafcka).
,, „ on the morrow of the Holy Trinity.
,, „ on the Quinzaine of St. Michael
The bufinefs of the Aula Regis, Curia Regis, or
King's Court was apportioned to feveral Courts, fome-
time in the reign of Henry the Third, but the divifion
of the bufinefs was not definitively eftablifhed till near the
end of that king's reign. In the next reign, however,

courts are known (fee lift of Courts, p. 182), viz. the
Chancery; the King's Bench; the Common Pleas, for
Common Bench); and the Exchequer.
The whole year was at one time available for hearing
and determining caufes, but the Church at length inter¬
fered, and prevented certain holy feafons of the year from
being profaned by fecu ar bufinefs, that the minds of men
might not be difturbed and exacerbated by litigation.
Advent and Chriftmas being exempted, gave rife to the
Winter Vacation; the periods of Lent and Eafter, to
the Spring Vacation ; Pentecoft made the third; and the
Long Vacation, which occurred between Midfummer
and Michaelmas, was allowed for hay-time and harveft.
Difpenfations, however, were occafionally granted by
the Church for holding affizes and trying caufes during
the inhibited feafons. In the Statute of Weftminfter,
3 Edw. I. c. 51, there is a claufe to the following effe£t:
" And forafmuch as it is great charity to do right unto
" all men at all times, it would be expedient that by
" aflent of all the prelates, affizes of Novel dijfeijln% Mort
" (Taunce/lrey and Darrain prefentment fhould be taken
" in Advent, Septuagefima, and Lent; even as well as
" inquefts ; and hereof the king maketh requeft to the
" bifhops."
Hilary Term, (until 1830),
Began on the 23rd or 24th of January, and ended
on the 12th or 13th of February.
Eafter Term, (until 1830),
Began feventeen days after Eafter-day, i.e. Wed-
nefday fortnight after Eafter-day, and ended four
days after Afcenfion day, being the Monday three
weeks following.
Law Terms.
l75
Trinity Term, (until 1540, 29 Sept. 32 Hen. VIII.),
Began on Wednefday after Corpus Chrifti day,*
and ended on the enfuing Wednefday fortnight.
By Stat. 32 Hen. VIII, c. 21, which palled in
April, 1540, the commencement of Trinity Term
was altered, becaufe, as the preamble ftates, it
had been " ufually holden in a Seafon of the year
" when danger of infection of the plague and
" other ficknefies had happened to the King's
" fubje£ts, and which was alfo a great impediment
" to the bufinefs of harveft." It was therefore
enacted that "the full term of Trinity Term,"
fhould, " from the 29th of the enfuing September
" (1540), commence on Friday next after Corpus
" Chrifti day," (/. e. the next day), " inftead of on
" JVednefday next after Corpus Chrifti day," {i.e.
Wednefday in the following week ; Corpus Chrifti
day being kept on Thurfday).
Trinity Term, (1541 to 1830),
In 1541, began on Friday after Corpus Chrifti
day;
And ended on the enfuing Wednefday fortnight.
* The table for finding the commencements of the Law Terms
(p. 178) will obvioufly not ferve for Trinity Term before 1264. a.d.,
as that was the date of the eftablifhment of Corpus Chrijli day, infti-
tuted by Pope Urban IV., by which Trinity Term was fubfeqnently
regulated. The fittings of Trinity Term before that date, however,
appear to have been regulated by the feaft of the Holy Trinity; and
as the date is given on the Record, a table fhowing the fuppofed
commencement of that Term before the year 1264, would be fuper-
fluous

Law Terms.
Michaelmas Term, (until 1640),
Began on the fourth day " of the O&ave" of
Saint Michael, i.e. the 9th or 10th of O&ober;
(the Odfave of St. Michael being the 6th of Octo¬
ber, the " fourth" of that date will be the 9th of
Otfober,—the commencement of that Term,—
unlefs the 9th fall on Sunday, when the next day,
the ioth, is to be taken);
And ended on the 28th or 29th of November.
1641 to 1751, (on and after 1641),
It began on the fourth day " of the three weeks"
of Saint Michael, i. e. the 23rd or 24th of Octo¬
ber ;
And ended on the 28th or 29th of November.
1752 to 1830, (in 1752 and until 1830),
It began on the fourth day "of the morrow" of
All Souls, i. e. the 6t'h of November ;
And ended on the 28th or 29th of November.
The Terms are now fixed to certain days, by Statute r,
William IV, c. 70, pafied 22nd July, 1830; for the year
of our Lord 1831 and afterwards,
(1831, &C.)
Hilary Term
Began on the nth January,
And ended on the 31ft January;
Eafter Term
Began on the 15th April,
And ended on the 8th May;
Trinity Term
Began on the 22nd May,
And ended on the 12th June ;
Law Terms.
l77
Michaelmas Term
Began on the 2nd November,
And ended on the 25th November;
By Statute 1, William IV, c. 3, paffed on the 23rd of
December, 1830, it was further provided "that in cafe
" the day of the month on which any Term according
" to the A6t 1, William IV, c. 70, is to end, fhall fall to
" be on Sunday, then the Monday next after fu.ch day
" (hall ot deemed to be the laft day of the Term."
As the Law Terms, which depended on the Moveable Feafts,
varied in each year, fome calculations were neceffary, to afcertain
the precile days on which the Terms began and ended, in order
that the correct year of the Sovereign's reign might be affigned to
the particular Term in queftion; for occafionally it would happen
that the Term would have its commencement in one, and its termi¬
nation in another regnal year; as will be feen to be the cafe in the
following reigns, and poffibly in other reigns, where the commence¬
ment of each fovereign's reign breaks into a Term, fo that the Term
has to bear the date of tivo regnal years. Thus, in the reigns of
Edward T. and Elizabeth, Michaelmas; Edward II, Richard II, and
George II, Trinity; Henry VIII, Eafter; and Edward VI. and
Charles II, Hilary, have tivo years of the fovereign's reign written
with them. In the reign of George II, Trinity was written with
two years of the reign after the introduftion of the New Style, when
the ftriking out of the eleven days caufed an alteration in the termi¬
nation of the 26th regnal year, and confequently, in the commence¬
ment of the fubfequent years of that fovereign's reign.
The calculations for the Law Terms have hitherto been attended
with uncertainty. A fimple and ready way, however, has now been
found for afcertaining correftly the commencement and termination
of all the Law Terms in any year after 1264, by means of Tables of
Law Terms, having the dates of Eafter-day annexed, from 22 March
to 25 April, fo that it is only neceffary to afcertain, in the Tables of
Regnal Years, the date of Eafter-day in any year, to be able to fee,
at a glance, on a line with fuch date of Eafter-day in the Table of
Law Terms, the commencement and termination of any of the four
Terms, for any year fubfequent to 1264.

Perpetual Calendars.
EVEN letters of the alphabet, together with
certain numbers, have been made to re-
prefent the feven days of the week, in the
following order, A. o., Sunday; G. i.,
Monday; F. 2., Tuefday; E. 3., Wednefday; D. 4.,
Thurfday; C. 5., Friday; and B. 6., Saturday: each
letter in turn being the Year-Letter, when indicating
the initial day of the year.
The Calendars will ferve perpetually, with the Julian
or Gregorian form of year, and have been conftrudted
in the following manner.—The months which commence
with the fame day of the week, we have brought to¬
gether in groups at the head of a column of 31 days, fo
that the initial day of each month fhall fall, in due order
from the initial day of the year, indicated by the Year-
Letter, according to the above order; obferving always
that form of year which begins with January and ends
with December.
It happens that the Year-Letters for the commence¬
ment of the year, and the Dominical Letters, are identical,
although produced by two different fyftems.
186 Perpetual Calendars.
The fyftem by which the Dominical* or Sunday letters
are produced, is this.—The days of the year are marked
with the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, and G j recurring
until the end of the year [except in a Leap-Year, when
both the 24th and 25th of February have the letter " F "].
The 1 ft of January having always the letter " A '' year
after year the Sundays fall to different letters in retro¬
grade order, until the cycle of 28 years [the Solar Cycle]
has been run out.
The other fyftem by which the initial letter of the
year—called the Year-Letter—is produced, is, according
to the rule by which the days of the week have fixed to
them the letters A, G, F, E, D, C and B% already
noticed at the commencement of this article.
The fpecial advantages of Perpetual Calendars are
thefe.
I. Calendars being at hand for any years of the Julian
form, before and after 1 a.d. for the Old Style, and from
1582 a.d. for the New Style, documents dated with a
Saint's day, can be chronologically arranged, with eafe
and precifion. For as it was the pra£tice in England,
before the reformation of the Church in the reign of
Henry VIII., to date with a Saint's day, it is obvious
that Calendars are indifpenfable to enable one to deter¬
mine the day of the iveek of any date in any year, before
the correct date can be afligned to any document dated
on or before a Saint's day [fee lift of Saints' days for the
date when the feftivals were ufually celebrated].
II. When the date of an event is known approximately,
the exa<5l year can often be determined if the day of the
* Dominica, being the Latin for Sunday, the derivation of the term
" Dominical" is obvious.

week be known. For example:—To find the year of
an event which took place on " Tuefday, 23 June," it
is only neceflary to obferve the Year-Letter which will
be required for fuch a combination of day and date.
Thus,—between the years 1648 and 1658, Tuefday
falls on the 23rd of June only in the year 1657,
" D" for the Year-Letter.

Eras of Nations.
The account of time, from any particular date or epoch.
ATIONS having occafion to record events
conne£ted with their own hiftory, have
ufually fixed upon fome remote period, in
order to embrace in their annals as large
an extent of time as practicable. The creation of the
world has therefore naturally prefented itfelf to many
minds as a fit date ; but, as opinions vary, we have above
one hundred and forty different dates given for the Mun¬
dane era.
Several nations have adopted fome event clofely con¬
nected with their religion, thus, the Chriftians of the
Eaft dated from the perfecution of the early Chriftians
under the Emperor Diocletian [ fee Era of Martyrs]: the
Chriftians of Europe and America at the prefent time,
reckoning from i Anno Domini, which is the fixed point
in time, determined by Dionyfius Exiguus a. d. 532, for
the commencement of the Chriftian Era. Although
almoft all Eras have now been adjufted to that fixed
point in time, 1 a.d., yet the reduction of any given date
in the hiftory of a particular nation, to the correfponding
190 Era of the Olympiads.
year, month, and day of the Chriftian era, is fometimes
a matter of difficulty, and often of uncertainty, as hifto-
rians are not always in accord as to the date of the com¬
mencement of fome of the eras ; but the following lift
will give a tolerably corredt idea of the dates ufed, cor-
refponding to the commencement of the common Chrif¬
tian era according to the reckoning of Dionyfius Exiguus :
1 Anno Domini, correfponding to the 4714th year of the
Julian period, to the 46th year of the Julian era, and to
the years of Rome 753 and 754, in part.
i. Era of the Olympiads.*
HE Olympic games, the greateft of the na¬
tional feftivals of the Greeks, were cele¬
brated at Olympia in Elis, the name given
to a fmall -plain lying to the weft of Pifa,
which was bounded on the north and north-eaft by the
mountains Cronius and Olympus; on the fouth by the
river Alpheus; and on the weft by the Cladeus, which
flows into the Alpheus. Olympia does not appear to
have been a town, but rather a colledtion of temples and
public buildings.
The origin of the Olympic games is buried in obfcurity.
The legends of the Elean priefts attribute the inftitution
of the feftival to the Idaean Heracles. According to their
account, Rhea committed her new-born Zeus to the
* Smith's " Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities," Lon¬
don, 1856.
Era of the Olympiads. 191
Idaean Da&yli, alfo called Curetes, of whom five brothers,
Heracles, Paconsus, Epimedes, Jafius and Idas, came
from Ida in Crete, to Olympia where a temple had been
ere£ted to Cronos by the men of the Golden Age j and
Heracles the eldeft, conquered his brothers in a foot¬
race, and was crowned with the wild olive tree. Heracles
hereupon eftablifhed a conteft which was to be celebrated
every five years, becaufe he and his brothers were five in
number.
It is impoflible to fay what credit is to be given to the
ancient traditions refpeifling the inftitution of the feftival,
but they feem to fhow that religious feftivals had been
ce'ebrated at Olympia from very early times. The ter¬
ritory of Elis itfelf was confidered efpecially facred during
the continuance of the feftival, and no armed force could
enter it without incurring the guilt of facrilege. The
Olympic feftival lafted, after all the contefts had been
introduced, five days, from the nth to the 15th days of
the month, both inclufive. The fourth day of the feftival
was the 14th of the month [Hecat-ombseon = July]. The
conquerors in the games, and private individuals, as well
as the theori or deputies from the various ftates, offered
facrifices to the different gods ; but the chief facrifices
were offered by the Eleans in the name of the Elean
ftate. All perfons who were about to contend, had to
prove to the Hellanodicse that they were freemen of pure
Hellenic blood, had not been branded with atimia (out¬
lawry), nor guilty of any facrilegious a£t. They further had
to prove that they had undergone the preparatory training
for ten months previoufly, and the truth of this they were
obliged to fwear to at Olympia before the ftatue of Zeus.
The fathers, brothers, and gymnaftic teachers of the com¬
petitors, as well as the competitors themfelves had alfo to
192 Era of the Olympiads.
fwear that they would be guilty of no crime in reference
to the contefts. The moft powerful ftates confidered an
Olympic victory gained by one of the citizens to confer
honour upon the ftate to which he belonged j and a con¬
queror ufually had immunities and privileges conferred
upon him as tokens of the gratitude of his fellow citizens.
Olympias, the moft celebrated chronological era among
the Greeks, was the period of four years, which elapfed
between each celebration of the Olympic games. The
Olympiads began to be reckoned from the victory of
Coroebus in the foot-race, which happened in the year
776 b.c.
The old era of Olympiads appears only to have been
ufed by writers, and efpecially by hiftorians. It does not
feem to have been ever adopted by any ftate in public
documents. It is never found on any coins, and fcarcely
ever on infcriptions. There are only two infcriptions
publifhed by Bockh in which it appears to be ufed [Corp.
Infer, n. 2682. 2999).
A new era of Olympiads however came into ufe under
the Roman Emperors which is found on infcriptions and
was ufed in public documents. This era begins in Ol.
227. 3. [a.d. 131], in which year Hadrian dedicated the
Olympieion at Athens; and accordingly we find Ol.
227. 3. fpoken of as the firft Olympiad ; Ol. 228. 3.
(a.d. 135} as the fecond Olympiad, &c. [Bockh, Corp.
Infer, n. 342. 446. 1345].
The Olympic games were formally abolilhed by Theo-
dofius a.d. 394. The computation by Olympiads having
already given place to that of " Indictions," a.d. 312,
September 24, and a.d. 313, January 1.
Each year of an Olympiad was luni-folar, and con¬
tained 12 or 13 months, the names of which varied in
Era of the Olympiads. 193
the different ftates of Greece. "The months confifted of
30 and 29 days alternately ; and the fhort year confe-
quently contained 354 days, while the intercalary year
having an extra month of 30 days, had 384 days.
In Europe no era was fo generally ufed in literature,
as the era of the Olympiads; and as the Olympic games
were celebrated 293 times, we have 293 Olympic cycles,
i.e. 1172 years, of which 776 fall before i a.d,, and 396
during the Chriftian era. When the Greeks adopted
Chriftianity they probably ufed the Julian year and the
reckoning of Dionyfius Exiguus, introduced a.d. 532.
The years of the Olympiads commenced in the Attic
month of Hecatombaeon [= July], therefore when 1 a.d.
is faid to coincide with Ol. 195. 1. i. e. the iff year of
the 195th Olympiad, it muft be underftood to mean, that
the firft fix months only of 1 a.d. correfpond to the
latter part of the iff year of the 195th Olympiad ; for the
laft fix months of 1 a.d. correfpond to the firft part of ths
2nd year of the 195th Olympiad [Ol. 195. 2].

To reduce any given year of an Olympiad to the Chriftian era, multiply the Olympiads
elapfed, by 4; and add the number of years of the given Olympiad. Thus the date of the

gives data by which this era may be fixed to the year
750 B.C. = Ol. 7. 3., while according to Marcus Teren-
tius Varro, a Roman writer, the friend of Pompey and
of Cicero, who died B.C. 29, the era of Rome has been

The letters A.U.C. ferve for the abbreviation of
Anno Urbis condita, and are ufually given with the years
of the era of Rome.
To reduce a given year of Rome to the correfponding
year B.C., dedu£t the given year "U.C." from 754:
while for any year of the Chriftian era dedu£t 753 from
the given year of Rome; when the remainder in either

be borne in mind, that in any Julian year, the period
embraced from 1 January to 20 April, will correfpond to

hi. Era of Nabonaffar.
HIS era obtains its name from Prince Nabo¬
naffar of Babylon, during whofe reign aftro-
nomical ftudies were much advanced in
Chaldaea. The years of the era of Nabo¬
naffar,—the commencement of the firft year of which
Era of Nabonajfar« 197
may be faid to correfpond to the noon of the 26th of
February 747 B.C.—are vague, containing but 365 days,
each year being without intercalation ; confequently, each
Nabonaflarean year, next after a Julian Leap-year (fo in¬
terpreted/), appears to have begun one day later than the
date in the Julian Calendar to which the Nabonaflarean
New Year's-day had correfponded in the preceding Julian
year.
Rules for finding the Nabonajfiarean year according to the
Ghrijlian Calculation.
For years B.C. dedu6t the given year of the era of
Nabonaflar from 748, and take the remainder to reprefent
the year B.C.
Thus,—The 746th Nabonaflarean year correfponds

For years of our Lord, the given year of the Nabo¬

♦ Note.—In this year [722 Nab. = 26 B.C.], the fifth of 30 B.C., when the
correftion of the Egyptian Calendar ordered by Auguftus took effedl, New Year's
day, [1 Thoth] correfponded to the 29th of Auguft.
The Era of Alexander. 199
Rule for finding the date of the Julian year corre-
fponding to the commencement of the Nabonafiarean
year
(e. g.) The Julian date with which the 721ft year of
the era of Nabonafiar began, is the 29th of Auguft in the
preceding table. [The next year, i. e. the 722nd Nabo¬
nafiarean year, was the fifth year of 30 B.C. [the year in
which Auguftus ordered the Egyptian year to be cor¬
rected], when the Nabonafiarean year, with which the
Egyptian year coincided, would have again been in arrear
of the Julian Calendar, and would have correfponded to
the 28th of Auguft, if the correction of the Egyptian
Calendar had not then taken efteCt.]
Take the date oppofite the hundreds of years in the
preceding table, [in this cafe 700 = Sept. 4], and de¬
duct from that date the number of days which create
the difference betwreen the date oppofite 21 [2. e. 21 years
over 700] = February 21, and the 26th of February,
which was the fir ft new year's day of the Nabonafiarean
year. This difference is 5, to which add 1, and deduCt
the fum from September 4, the date found with the
hundreds of years.
Thus,—4 September, less 6, = 29 Auguft.
IV. The Era of Alexander.
ROM the death of Alexander, this era is
dated, viz. from the 12th of November,
324 B.C., on which day the 425th year of
the era of Nabonaffar began. The years
of this era confifted of 365 days in common years, and
200

of 366 days In Leap-years or fourth years, like thofe of
the Julian Calendar; but the months were compofed of
30 days each, with 5 fupplementary days at the end of
the laft month in common years, and fix days in Leap-
years.
To reduce this era to the common Chriftian era, de-
du£t 324 from the given year of this era : and for years
B.C. dedudt the years elapfed from 324.
Thus.—The 325th year of the era of Alexander began
on the 12th of November 1 a.d.
325

V. The Era of Tyre.
HIS era begins with the year 125 b.c., in the
month Hyperberetaws, correfponding to the
19th of 0£lober,y^ interpreted: the months
of this era were the fame as in the Greek
era, while the year was fimilar to the Julian year.
jThe 'Julian Era.
201
To reduce this era to the Chriftian era, [as 126 of the
era of Tyre = 1 a.d.,] fubtradl 125 from the given year
of this era. Before the Chriftian era, dedudt the given
year of the era of Tyre from 126.
Thus.—The commencement of the year 127 of the
era of Tyre = 2 a.d. 19 Odtober, and of 125 of the era
of Tyre = 1 b.c. 19 O&ober.
VI. The Caefarean Era of Antioch.
|HIS era was inftituted at Antioch, to com¬
memorate the vi&ory gained by Julius Caefar
in the plain of Pharfalia, on a day ccrre-
fponding to the 9th of Auguft, 706 a.u.c.
—48 b.c. The months are the fame as thofe with the
Greek era.
The Syrians reckoned this era from the autumn, with
Tifhri I. 48 b.c., but the Greeks began it from their
month Gorpiaus [= September] 49 b.c. = 705 a.u.c.
VII. The Julian Era.
HIS era commences on the ift of January
708 a.u.c., and thus precedes the common
Chriftian era, or I Anno Domini according
to the Dionyfian reckoning, by 45 years.
The Julian era obtains its name from Caius Julius Caefar,
he having corredted the Roman Calendar and introduced
202
The Julian Era
the fixed form of year, which we obferve at the prefent
day, ufually called the Julian year, [ fee p. 2].
The years of Rome, which were reckoned from the
21ft of April 753 years before 1 a.d. by Marcus Teren-
tius Varro, muft not be confounded with the Roman year
commencing on the ift of January, at which date the
Confuls entered office, otherwife we fhall find that the
chronological lift of Confuls will be out of order, to the
extent of one year.

The Era of Auguftus. 203
VIII. The Era of Spain, or Era of the Caefars.
HIS era is reckoned from the iff of January
38 b.c., the year following the conqueft of
Spain by Auguftus. It was ufed in Africa,
Spain, Portugal, and the South of France.
By a Synod held a.d. i 180, the ufe of the " era of Spain "
was abolifhed in Catalonia in all churches dependent on
Barcelona. Pedro IV. of Arragon abolifhed the ufe of
it in his dominions a.d. 1350 ; in Valencia it was abolifhed
A.d. 1358 ; and in Caftile John L of Caflile abolifhed it
a.d. 1382 } but in Portugal it continued in ufe until about
a.d. 1420, when it was abolifhed by John I. of Portugal.
The era of Spain differs from the common Chriftian era,
only by having been reckoned 38 years earlier; there¬
fore to make the Spanifh era accord with our common
Chriftian era, we have but to deduct 38 from any year
of the Spanifh era before the alterations occurred in the
different provinces noticed above.
Thus :—40 of the era of Spain = 2 a.d.
IX. The Era of Auguftus.
HIS era was founded to commemorate the
battle of A£tium, which made Octavius
[afterwards called Auguftus] tnafter of the
Roman empire. The battle took place about
the 2nd of September in the 15th year of the Julian era, in
the 723rd year of Rome [31 b.c.] The emperor affumed
the name of Auguftus in the year 27 b.c., from which
year the Auguftan era has been fometimes reckoned ; but
204 The Era of Augujlus.
by the Epyptians this era was dated from the year of the
battle.
By a decree of the Senate of Rome, in the year 30 b.c.,
the era was to be adopted j the Egyptian year being then
ordered to confift of the fame number of days as the
Julian year with the extra day for Leap-year. The
Egyptian New year's day, 1 Thoth, happened to be the
29th of Auguft, when the order took effe£t in the fifth
year of the date of the order, viz. 728 a.u.c. = the 26th
year before 1 a.d. This era continued in ufe until the
reign of Diocletian.
The years of the reign of Auguftus, if we reckon from
the date of the battle, will be as follows :—

Note,—The year of Rome Is reckoned from the 21ft of April to
the 20th of April [fo interpreted], confequently any Julian year cor-
refponds to two years of Rome, in part. Thus:—
| = 749 a.u.c. to the 20th of April
4 b.c. | __ ^ from the 21ft of April,
and as the year of Auguftus, by the Egyptian reckoning, commenced
on the 29th of Auguft, the 28th year of that Emperor's reign, <vohen
firft the cenfus nuas ordered to be taken, correfponded to the year of
Rome 750 = 4 b.c., i, e. 4 before 1 a.d. of the Dionyfian reckoning.
205
X. The Egyptian Year.
IEFORE the reformation of the Egyptian
Calendar ordered by Auguftus in the year
30 B.C., the Egyptian year was the fame as
that of the era of Nabonaffar, confifting of
twelve months of thirty days each, with an addition of five
days at the end of each year, to complete 365 days. But
by a decree of the Senate of Rome in the 16th year of
the Julian era [30 B.C.], the Egyptian year being then
imperfeCt, a fixth day was ordered to be added every
fourth year, as Julius Caefar had added an extra day [in
February] to the Julian year. The alteration in the
Egyptian Calendar, however, did not take effeCt until the
fifth year of the date of the decree, viz. the year 26 B.C.
= 722 of the era of Nabonaffar, when the date in the
Julian Calendar, which correfponded to the initial day of
the firft month of the Egyptian year [Thoth], was a. d. iv
Kal. Sept. = 29 Auguft.
By the intercalation of an extra day, the Egyptian year
was to have the regularity of the Julian year. It has
been afferted, that the correction was at firft made only
in Alexandria, the reft of Egypt continuing the ufe of
the imperfeCt year for a long time afterwards,—above
100 years.
206
The Era of Martyrs,
alfo catted
The Era of Diocletian,
OMMENCES from {a, d. iv Kal. Sept. =
29 Auguft] the day which correfponds to the
date in the Julian calendar, to which new
year's day of the Nabonaflarean year, and
the Egyptian year, had arrived, by conftantly lofing a day
after each Julian Leap-year, Jo interpreted, if we take a
retrofpeCtive view of the Julian fyftem, by which bijfex-
tile years may be introduced after every four years.
This era dates from the reign of the Emperor Dio¬
cletian [a.d. 284] in confequence of the perfecution of
the Chriftians by that Emperor, hence it was fometimes
called Era of Martyrs, as well as the Era of Diocletian.
The years of this era have twelve months of thirty
days each, with five additional days in a common year,
to make up 365 days; a fixth day being added every
fourth year, making fuch fourth years confift of 366
days: and as the Julian Leap-years, and the intercalary
years of this era fall together, the 1ft of Thotb always
correfponds to the 29th of Auguft.
The era of Martyrs was generally ufed by Chriftian
writers until the introduction of the reckoning of the
Chriftian era by Dionyfius in the fixth century, and is
ftill ufed by the Ethiopians and Copts. The Ethiopians
called the years of the era of Martyrs " Tears of Grace f
and reckoned them by cycles of 532 years according to
the Dionyfian reckoning, and at the end of the period of
532 years they recommenced with 1. We obferve that
the Council of" Chelfea [816, July 27] ordered all Bifhops
Era of Martyrs. 207
to adopt the fyftem of dating from the Incarnation of the
Saviour, which had been introduced by Dionyfius in the
year 532 [the fyitem now in ufe]. Now if we add 532
the number of years of which the Dionyfian Pafchal Cycle
confided] to 284, the date of the commencement of the
" Era of Martyrs," we have the year 816. The proba¬
bility therefore, is, that as the time for the commence¬
ment of a new cycle of 532 years approached, viz. on the
29th of Auguft 816, for the Egyptian year, the fyftem of
Dionyfius was found to be more convenient, and was
confequently ordered to be univerfally adopted. The
Dionyfian fyftem had been ufed in England before 816
a.d., for we find Saxon charters dated according to the
Dionyfian fyftem in the years 605 and 676, [fee p. 25,
and Chriftian era following this ]
To reduce the years of the era of Martyrs to Old Style
dates of the Chriftian era (in a common year) add 283
vears and 240 days to the year given; e. g. the com¬
mencement of the year 4 of the Era of Martyrs corre-
Iponds to the 29th of Auguft, 287 a.d. Thus :—
4 The year of the Era of Martyrs, given,
add 283 years and 240 days [1 Jan. to 28 Aug. = 240 days.]
287 a.d. 29 Auguft — the commencement of the year 4, of this
era.
For any year of the Era of Martyrs, commencing in a
Julian Leap-year, one more day muft be added. Thus:—
f r the year 5 of the Era of Martyrs,
add z^^years and 241 days [1 Jan. to 28 Aug. in a Leap-year ==. 241 days].
(Leap-year)288 a.d. 29 Auguft — the commencement of the year 5, of this
era.
By dividing the year's number by 4, and having no
remainder, each year of the Era of Martyrs is known to
be an intercalary year, and will be found to end always
in a Julian Leap-year.

The Chriftian Era.
HE year now ufed by Chriftian nations cor-
refponds in form to the Julian year, as it
commences on the ift of January and ends
on the 31ft of December; for it muft be
remembered that the new ftyle, introduced by Pope Gre¬
gory a.d. 1582, did not affedl the form of the year, beyond
the advancement of dates, to the extent of ten days, in
the fir ft inftance [fee p. 6]. The Chriftian era, or Era
of the Incarnation, is fometimes reckoned from new year's
day of the 46th year of the Julian era, in the middle
of the 4th year of the 194th Olympiad, in the latter part
of the 753rd year of Rome, and the commencement of
the 4714th year of the Julian period. The fyftem of
reckoning " The era of the Incarnation of the Word" was
introduced by Dionyfius Exiguus a.u.c. 1286 = a.d.
533, when the words Anno Domini could be written with
any year of the Chriftian era, all previous years being
imagined to have had thofe words attached to them.
The birth of our Lord was on the 25th of December
in the 28th year of Auguftus, and by the reckoning of
Dionyfius it was 754 a.u.c., inftead of 750 a.u.c. The
Dionyfian reckoning however has long been recognized,
and 1 Anno Domini = 754 A.u.c. is the fixed point in
time to which all eras have been adjufted; the years
prior to i a.d. being indicated by the letters b.c.
The (' Era of the Incarnation" was ufed in Italy in
the fixth century, in France in the feventh century, and in
England alfo in the feventh century [fee Saxon Charters,
a.d. 605, a few pages further on, and a.d. 676, p. 25],
but not univerfally adopted in England until the ninth
century, when the Council of Chelfea [816, July 27],
The Chrijlian Era.
213
ordered all bifhops to date their a£ts from the year of the
Incarnation.
The firft year, or I Anno Chrijii, called by chronolo-
gifts annus verus, is the fourth year before I Anno Domini
[fee pp. 20-25; alfo "Era of the Olympiads," p. 194],
hence we find, that 33 Anno Chrijii correfponds to 30
a.d. This difference between the years known as annus
verus and 1 Anno Domini was caufed by Dionyfius, when
he introduced the prefent fyftem of reckoning the Chrif-
tian era, and made 1 a.d. correfpond to the 46th year of
the Julian era, and 754 a.u.c. inftead of 750 a.u.c.
= the 42nd year of the Julian era, and thus flopped
four years fhort of the date, which, according to the
flatement of Clement of Alexandria, had been efleemed
the true date by the early Chriftians.
It has been fuppofed that a difference of 22 or 23 years
was created, upon the introduction of the Dionyfian
fyftem, as the following extraCt from VArt de verifier
les Dates will fhow.
44 Un autre nom qu'on a encore donne a 1'annee de
" l'lncarnation, eft celui de l'an de grace, Annus gratia.
44 Le premier exemple que nous ayons remarque de cet
44 ufage, fi commun dans les derniers terns, eft de l'an
44 1132. II fe rencontre dans une Charte de Hugues,
44 Seigneur de Chateau-Neuf, imprimee au T. iv du
44 Spicilege, p. 261. Gervais de Cantorberj qui vivoit
44 au commencement du XIIT fiecle, a fuivi cet ufage
44 dans fa Chronique, qu'il commence ainfi : Anno igitur
44 gratia fecundum Dionyfium MC, fecundum Evangeliwn
44 vero MCXXII, fufcepit Henricus primus monarchiam
44 totius Anglics, &c. Voila l'an de grace bien marque
44 pour celui de l'lncarnation. Mais ce qu'il y a de plus
44 remarquable dans ce debut de la Chronique de Gervais,
44 c'eft la diftinCtion que cet auteur met entre les annees

de l'lncarnation, felon Denis le Petit [Dionyfius Exi-
guus], et les mernes annees, felon l'Evangiie. II fup-
pofe done que Denis, en comptant les annees de J. C.
s'eft trompe ; et que, felon la verite de l'Evangiie, il
faut ajouter vingt-deux ans complets a fon calcul, pour
trouver la veritable annee de l'lncarnation. Marianus
Scotus, qui mourut fur la fin de XIe fiecle, et quelques
autres chroniqueurs, mais en petit noinbre, du fuivant,
ont fait la meme fuppofition. On la trouve auffi dans
un Refcrit du Pape Urbain II, pour l'Abbaye du Saint
Mihel, imprime dans la Diplomatique de D. Mabillon,
p. 590. Voici la Date de ce Dip.ome : Data Laterani
vii Kalend. April, anno ab Incarnatione Domini fecun-
dum Dionyjium millefuno nonagefimo odlavo: fecundum
vera cert tor em Evangelii probationem millefimo centefimo
XXI, Indidi. VI, EpaSta XV, Concurrente IV. Le Pape
Urbain et le Moine Gervais s'accordent, comme on le
voit, furce qu'ils difent du calcul de Denis le Petit, qui
n'eft point diftingue du notre ; mais il y a une annee
de difference entre leur maniere de compter les annees,
qu'ils appellent, felon la verite de V Evangile. Suivant
la Chronique de Gervais, pour trouver la veritable
annee de l'lncarnation, il ne faut ajouter que 22 ans a
notre Ere Chretienne, ou au calcul de Denis le Petit;
fuivant la Date du Refcrit d'Urbain II, il faut en
ajouter 23. Marianus Scotus dit, comme Gervais,
qu'il ne faut en ajouter que 22. Florent Bravonius,
Moine de Vorcheftre [? Dorchefter], adopte le meme
fentiment dans fa Chronique, compofee au commence¬
ment du XII® fiecle. II range les faits hiftoriques,
qu'il rapporte, fous les deux Eres, celle de l'Evangiie,
qu'il exprime par ces deux lettres " S. E," e'eft a dire,
fecundum Evangelium, et l'Ere de Denis le Petit, qu'il
defigne par les lettres ' S. D.,' qui fignifient fecundum

laume II, Due de Normandie, en Angleterre, fous
1'an 1051 de l'Ere introduit par Denis le Petit, et fous
l'an 1073 de l'Ere Evangelique; par ou l'on voit qu'il
fait marcher la premiere de ces deux epoques 22 ans
avant la feconde. D'autres, tels qu'Helinand, Moine
de Froimont, Ecrivain de la fin du XIIe fiecle, n'an-
ticipoient que de 21 ans l'Ere de Denis le Petit. Hoc
anno, dit il fur l'an 979, complentur mi lie anni a Nati-
v'ltate Cbrifti fecundum veritatem Evangelii,qui fecundum

Nous ne rapporterons point ici les raifons fur lefquelles
ces Auteurs appuyoient cette diftinction des annees de
J. C., felon Denis le Petit, et des memes annees, felon
1'Evangile. On peut les voir dans 1'Ouvrage de P.
Petau, De Dodirina Temporum, L. xii, ch„ v. Parlons
maintenant d'une autre Date plus ufitee, pour marquer
l'annee de l'Incarnation. C'eft l'annee de la Trabe-
ation, Annus Trabeationis Chrijii, qui fe trouve dans plu-
fieurs Chartes du XIe fiecle. M. du Cange, dans fon
Gloflaire, l'explique par annus quo Cbriflus trabi affixus
eft, l'annee que J. C. a ete attache a la croix. Mais
ce favant homme s'eft mepris en donnant cette expli¬
cation. On l'a re&ifiee dans la nouvelle edition de
fa Gloflaire, au mot Trabeatio, ou l'on a demontre
qu' Annus Trabeationis eft la me me chofe aft Annus In-
carnationis." [L'Art de verifier les Dates, tome i.
p. xi.]
It is a matter of furprife to us, that Gervafe of Canter¬
bury fhould have imagined a difference of 22 years to
exift; for the years of the Dionyfian fyftem of dating
the Chriftian era, can be traced from 532 a.d. without
any break, forward to the date of the introduction of the
Gregorian Calendar, and back to 1 Anno Domini =754.
2l6
The Chrijiian Era.
a.u.c.j or to i Anno Chrijli — 750 a.u.c., each year
with its day and Year-Letter in due order, which would
not be the cafe, if any years had been dropped out. The
order of the Golden Numbers appearing with the Pafchal
cycle, may be taken as further evidence [fee p. 118], for
inftance, we fee that Golden Number I of the Dionyfian
cycle belongs to 532 a.d., and that I of the Metonic
Lunar Cycle, reprefenting the firft year of that cycle,
belonged to the year 432 b.c., now if we add 432 to 532,
the refult 964, gives the number of years made up by
thofe two dates, with the intervening years. Dividing
964 by 19, we have 50 complete Lunar cycles, and 14
years over ; and as the Golden numbers of both cycles
would reprefent years, XIV is the Golden number of the
Metonic Lunar Cycle which would be affigned to 532
a.d. without any break occurring. Between thefe two
cycles another cycle appears to have been ufed in Saxon
charters, which is evidently the Lunar Cycle of Hilarius,
Bilhop of Rome, introduced a.d. 463 ; the numbers of
which, fall in fuch order, that V belongs to the year 463
of the Chriftian era, while number II of the Metonic
Lunar Cycle, belongs to the fame year,463; thus Ihowing
a difference to the extent of three numbers between the
two cycles. [See Table of correfponding numbers at the
end of this era.]
We therefore find, that,
XIV of the Metonic Lunar Cycle correfponds to
XVII of the Lunar Cycle of Hilarius, while both
thofe numbers correfpond to I of the Dionyfian
Cycle of 19 years [fee pp. 116, 117 and 123].
We muff alwaysbear In mind thatthischange in the order
of the numbers creates no real difference in time, and that
there Is merely a difturbance in the order of the numbers,
one number correfponding to other numbers of different
The Chrijlian Era.
217
Cycles ; otherwife a difference of fix years might be
imagined to have been created, between the numbers of
the Metonic Cycle, and thofe of the Dionyfian Cycle of
19 years; and of three years between thofe two cycles,
and the Lunar Cycle of Hilarius. There is no evidence
of twenty-two years having been dropped by Dionyfius,
as imagined by Gervafe of Canterbury, who, poffibly fup-
pofed that the year of the "Incarnation" fhould date
from the year of the Crucifixion, taking 28 of the Dio¬
nyfian reckoning of the Chriftian era for that year; and
that the fix Golden numbers left out by Dionyfius repre-
fented fo many years, which would make up 28 years by
the addition of the 22, which Gervafe of Canterbury
appears, erroneoufly, to have thought had been dropped.
When the Dionyfian Pafchal Cycle was introduced,
a.d. 533, the date for the obfervance of Eafter-day in that
year happened to be the 27th of March, the fame date
which would have been found with the numbers of the
other cycles; viz. XV of the Metonic Cycle, = XVIII
of the Cycle of Hilarius, = II of the Dionyfian Cycle of
19 years; for although certain numbers were omitted

The Ghrijlian Era.
It will be interefting to notice, that the 9th ot April,
the date of Eafter-day, which is found with Golden
Number I, of the Dionyfian Cycle of 19 years, and Year-
letter A, is the date of the Sunday next after the 5th of
April, and the fame date to which Sunday [Jo interpreted']
following the Feaft of the Paffover, a.d. 30, belonged
\_fee p. 268, with Letter A, and Golden Number XIV,
of the Metonic Cycle, ----- I of the Dionyfian Cycle of
19 years, indicating the 23rd of March for the date of
the New Moon],
By the rule of our Church, inftituted at the Council
of Nice, in the year 325 of the Chriftian era, and given
in the book of Common Prayer, there are thirty-five
variations in the order of the dates, upon which Eafter-
day can fall; the date of that feaft being regulated by the
Dominical Letter and Golden Number for the year.
The Golden Number to regulate the date on which the
New Moon ftiould be reckoned, and the Dominical
Letter to regulate the day of the week in the fame year;
and as the date of Eafter-day, a.d. 533, was the 27th of
March, notwithftanding the change in the order of the
numbers, by which II of the Dionyfian Cycle of 19 years
was ufed in place of XV of the Metonic Cycle, Friday,
the 25th of March was the day, of which Sunday the
27th was the third day, according to the Roman fyftem
of reckoning, which fyftem would, without doubt, have
been recognized at the Council of Nice, held in the pre-
fence of the Emperor Conftantine, as well as in the year
533, by Dionyfius, he being a Roman abbot. The Roman
method is the one we now recognize, yet it appears to
have been one of the chief obftacles to an agreement
between S. Auguftine and the Welch.
It is ftated in many hiftories that the Chriftian faith
was received in Britain during the very early years of the
Church. Theodoret and Sophronius affirm that S. Paul
The Chrijiian Era.
219
was here, and preached the Gofpel after his firft im-
prifonment at Rome. Nicephorus and others report that
Simon Zelotes came to Britain as the firft meflenger.
And it has been aflerted, that St. Philip the Apoftie of
the French fent over twelve preachers, the chief among
them being Jofeph of Arimathaea, the one who buried the
body of our Lord. Thefe are faid to have arrived in the
year 63 of our Chriftian era, and to have had a place of
habitation affigned to them, where Glaftonbury* after¬
wards ftood. Twelve hides of land were given to them,
which were fubfequently known as the Twelve Hides of
Glaftonbury [formerly called Avallonia]. Some writers
affirm that there is ftmply evidence of the exiftence of a
Chriftian Church at that early date.f But it is faid that
paganifm prevailed, and that there was no public recog¬
nition of the Chriftian religion except in Wales.
But towards the clofe of the fixth century Chriftianity
was again preached in Britain. " Pope Gregory had become
44 much interefted in the welfare of the Anglo-Saxons, in
" confequence of an incident which happened to him at
44 an earlier period of his life. It chanced that he pafled
44 through the market at Rome about 588 A.D., where
44 certain dealers had juft arrived from foreign parts with
44 various kinds of merchandife. Amongft othet articles
44 there were flaves for fale, like cattle. * * * Gregory
44 was particularly interefted by the appearance of fome
44 poor little lads, * * * they were beautiful children.
44 4 To what nation do thefe poor boys belong?' was the
44 queftion which Gregory afked of the dealer. 4 They
44 4 are Angles, Father.' 4 Well may they be fo called,
44 4 for they are as comely as angels ; and would that,
44 4 like angels, they might become cherubim in heaven !

44 4 But from which of the many provinces of Britain do
44 4 they come ?' 4 From Deira, Father.' ' Indeed,' con-
44 tinued Gregory, fpeaking in Latin, lDe ira Dei liberandi
44 4 funtj—From the wrath of God they are to be de-
44 iivered. And when, on a (king the name of their king,,
44 he was told it was Ella, or Alia, he added, 4 that Alle-
44 4 lujah—praife ye the Lord—ought to be fung in his
44 4 dominions.' "
44 This converfation may appear trifling, but it was
44 deftined to produce the mo ft important effe£i:s. The
44 ftate of Britain having been introduced to the notice
44 of Gregory, he brooded over the thought, and deter-
44 mined to proceed hither in the character of a miflionary.
44 Impediments arofe, which prevented him from carrying
44 this defign into effect, but the impreflion continued
44 firm in his mind ; and when he became Pope of Rome
44 he difpatched Auguftine to fulfil the talk, the accom-
44 plifhment of which he had fo earneftly defired" [596-
605]. [Hiftory of the Anglo-Saxons by Sir Francis Pal-
grave.]
Auguftine during his million endeavoured to effect an
agreement between the Saxons and the Welch, who
differed from the Roman Church in the manner of bap¬
tizing, and the time of the obfervance of Eafer. Auguftine
prayed the Welch to yield to him but three things,—to
minifter baptifm j to obferve Eafer according to the Roman
manner [ fee pp. 119-120 concerning Eafter]; and to aflift
him in preaching Chrift to the Saxons. But the Welch
faid they had then an Archbilhop of Caerleon and their
opinions had long fince been allowed by Eleutherius
[171-184], Biftiop of Rome.

reckoned by the Eaftern Chriftians from a year corre-
fponding to 284 a.d.], but accorded with the year of the
country in which Chriftians refided, e.g. in Italy the
Roman year, known as the Julian year, would be recog¬
nized j while in Alexandria the Egyptian year would be
obferved, commencing on the 29th of Auguft.
The earlieft year in which the Dionyftan fyftern has
been obferved in England appears to be 605. An exempli¬
fication of a Charter of iEthelberht, King of Kent, fhows
that with the confent of the Venerable Archbifhop Au-
guftine, a piece of land was granted in the eaftern part
of the City of Canterbury, that a monaftery might be built
there. Dated, in the City of Canterbury, Anno ab incar-
natlone Chrijli, DCV.
The next charter on the roll [Charter Roll 36 Edward
III.] is one by which /Ethelberht grants to the Monaftery
of Saint Auguftine, Canterbury, the Vill called Sturiago,
alias Ciftelet, alfo a Silver difh, a golden veffel or cup

broidered cloak, the gift of Pope Gregory, which charter
was fubfcribed to by Auguftine, /Edbaldus the king's fon

There is in the fame book of Anaftafius a certain
fragment of Apojlolic Confutations which I fubjoin from
the manufcript. " And he was crucified in his 33rd year
on the 29th of Phamenoth, on the 6th day, at the 6th
hour of the day and on the 14th of the moon. And he
rofe on the third day, on the firft day of Parmuthi at the
6th hour of the night.
The fecond extra£l muft be received with caution, if
the writer be Anaftafius, Bifhop of Antioch, who was
banifhed from his See a.d. 570, for fupporting certain
religious opinions; for although the year given by Ana¬
ftafius correfponds to the one found by our calculations
[viz. 33 Anno Chrijli — 30 Anno Domini\ the day of the
month does not. Thus,—we have the 29th of Phame¬
noth = the 25th of March; in the 33rd year of the
Saviour, given for the date on which our Lord fuffered,
which date falls on Saturday a.d. 30 = 33 a.c. And
77/f ChrijUan Era.
223
Anaftafius adds that this date was on the 14th day of
the moon, [meaning that it was the feaft of the prepara¬
tion of the Pa(Tover.] Now the 22nd of March is the
date of the New Moon for 30 a.d. = 33 a.c., indicated
by the correfponding Golden Numbers of the three cycles
[fee p. 224], therefore the 14th day of that date inuft be
the 4th of April, the evening of the preparation; the
next day following the 44 preparation" being the day of
the PafFover, the 5th of April [Wednefday a.d. 30].*
But perhaps Anaftafius has chofen the year in which
our Lord fuffered, viz. 33 Anno Chrijli = 30 Anno Domini
— 782 a.u.c. to reprefent the firJi year of the Chrifiian era,
a fyftem of reckoning fometimes obferved, and if Golden
Number XV has improperly been made to apply to that
year, becaufe it was known that XV of the Metonic
Cycle belonged to 1 a.d. of the Dionyfian reckoning,
and that Dionyfius, in the firft year of the fecond cycle
of 532 years, had chofen the 25th of March for the com¬
mencement of the year of the 44 Era of the Incarnation."
We fhall in that cafe find Golden Number XV indicating
the 12th of March for the date of the New Moon, when
the date of the Full Moon, or the 14th day of the month
Nifan, commencing with 44 New Moon," would fall on
the 25th of March [a.d. 30, Saturday].
* According to the pra&ice of the Jews, the date of the Feaft of
the PafTover is poftponed when it happens to fall on Wednefday. So
that the new moon obferved by them on the 22nd and 23rd of March
[the 14th of which would be the 5th of April, and Wednefday for
30 a.d.], would caufe the day of the Paflover to fall to the 7th of
April, Friday, for 33 Anno Chrijli — 29 a.d. of the Dionyfian
reckoning, but 30 a.d. for the year of the Julian form.

XIII. The Era of Pifa.
HIS era differed from our common Chriftian
era only by preceding it by one year ; pro¬
bably, the firft year of the Chriftian era
was made to correfpond to 753 a.u.c.
inftead of 754 a.u.c., the Dionyfian date.
XIV. Era of the Armenians.
RMENIANS began their era on Tuefday,
9 July 552 a.d., when they confirmed the
condemnation of the Council of Chalce-
donia, which was pronounced a.d. 536,
and by which they completed their fchifm.
The years of this era were vague, having only 365
days each, compofed of twelve months of thirty days
each, with five Epagomancs at the end of the laft month
to make up 365 days. The commencement of the year
confequently varies when compared with the Julian dates,
after each Julian Leap-year, like the years of the era of
Nabonaffar.
Another year, called the Ecclefiaftical Year, was ufed
at the fame time, which had the fame number of days as
the years of the Julian era, the additional day in a fourth
year being made up by a fixth epagomana, the months
having each thirty days. The date in the Julian Calen¬
dar, correfponding to the commencement of this eccle¬
fiaftical year was the nth of Auguft. This form of
year was difcontinued a.d. 1330, when the Julian year
was adopted.
226 Era of' Tezdegird III.
The months were,—

having each thirty days, with Acellacz, or the five epa-
gomance in common years, at the end of the laft month,
and a fixth in fourth years.
To reduce ecclefiaftical Armenian years to our Chrif-
tian time, add 551 years and 222 days. In a Leap-year
one day more, from the ift of March to the 10th of
Auguff.
XV. The Perfian Era,
or
Era of Yezdegird III.
HIS era was formerly univerfally ufed in
Perfia, and is ftill ufed by the Parfees in
India, and by the Arabs occafionally. It
began on the 16th of June a.d. 632.
The year was compofed of 365 days without inter¬
calation, and confequently was like the Egyptian and
Armenian year, anticipating the Julian year by one day
in every four years, which difference amounted to nearly
112 days in the year 1075, when the year was reformed
Era of Tezdegird III.
22 7
by jelaledin, who ordered that the Perfian year thence¬
forth fhould receive an additional day whenever it ap¬
peared neceffary to poftpone the commencement of the
following year, in order to make it correfpond to the
courfe of the fun. This naturally took place once in
four years ; but after feven or eight intercalations the
intercalation was poftponed for one year. By this ar¬
rangement the calendar could never require reformation.
An inconvenience however attends this method, it being
difficult to determine the length of the years beforehand,
as well as the uncertainty of reckoning caufed by the
computation of perfons living under different meridians,
thofe living towards the eaft fometimes beginning the
year a day earlier than others living weftward.
The prefent pra&ice of the Parfees in India varies in
different provinces, fome beginning the year in September
and others in O&ober. The months are as follows:—
1 Ferwardin
2 Ardibehifht
3 Khurdad
4 Tir
7 Meher
8 Aban
9 Ader
io Dei
5 Merdad 11 Behmen
6 Sheriur I 12 Ifpendarmez.
The months have thirty days each with five days in
common years and fix days in intercalary years, placed
after Aban the 8th month.
To reduce this era to the Chriftian year, add 630 to
the given year, and the fum will be the year of our era,
in which the Perfian year begins, according to the prac¬
tice of the Parfees.
228
XVI. Era of the Hegira.*
HE era of the Mohammedans, called the
Heg'ira or " Flight of the Prophet," dates
from the day on which Mohammed entered
Medina after his flight from Meccaf [Friday
the 16th of July, 622 A.D.] The years of the Hegira
are Lunar years, each of which has nearly eleven days
lefs than the Solar year. The Hegira's courfe is divided
into cycles of thirty years, of which nineteen are common
years, each one being compofed of 354 days, and eleven
are intercalary years, which have 355 days each. The
ifl-, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and nth months of the Lunar
year have each 30 days, and the other fix months of the
year have 29 days each, except in an intercalary year,
when the twelfth month has a thirtieth day.
The eleven intercalary years are the 2nd, 5th, 7th,
10th, 13th, 16th, 18th, 21 ft, 24th, 26th, and 29th of
each cycle of thirty years. The average length of a year
is taken at 35442, days, the twelfth part of which is
* This is fometimes written " Jjraf " Hijra," and " Hegira,"
(fee State Papers.)
+ " The Modems of Mecca, who had taken refuge fometime
" before in Medina, hearing that Mohammed was at hand, came
" forth to meet him at Koba. * * * Numbers of the anfavians, or
" auxiliaries of Medina, who had made their compaft with Moham-
" med in the preceding year, now haftened to renew their vow of
" fidelity. Learning from them that the number of profelytes in the
" city was rapidly augmenting, and that there was a general difpofi-
" tion to receive him favourably, he appointed Friday [16 July, 622
" a.d.] for his public entrance." [Life of Mahomet, by Wafhington
Irving, 1850.]

229
29t1r>> thus approaching nearly to the true lunation,
there being (as is afierted) a difference of but three
feconds of time, which will not amount to a day in
lefs than 2260 years. The months of this era, like
ours, confift of weeks, each day of which begins in
the evening after funfet, and is termed by the Catholic
Church ferial: thus our Sunday is the firft feria of the
Mohammedan week, and our Saturday the feventh feria.
In order to know which of the years of the Hegira are
intercalary years, having 355 days, it is neceflary to afcer-
tain what pofition the year in queftion occupies in the
cycle of thirty years. This is done by dividing the Mo¬
hammedan year's number by 30; and if there be any
remainder, and it be either 2, 5, 7, 10, 13, 16, 18, 21,
24, 26 or 29 the year will be an intercalary one having
355 days. If there be no remainder, it will be a proof
that the year in queftion is the thirtieth of a cycle, of
which the quotient will furnifh the numerical order.
The commencement of any year of the Hegira, cor-
refponding to the date in the Julian Calendar, Old Styley
can be afcertained by the following rules, and when the
initial day of the year has been found, the firft day of
each month of the Mohammedan year can be feen by
referring to the Mohammedan Calendar and the " Key"
on the following pages (pp. 237, See.)
For Gregorian or New Style dates, care muft be
taken to add the neceflary number of days according to
the date of the adoption of the New Style in the country
for which the date found may be required. [5^ Lift of
countries adopting the New Style, and the table of dif¬
ferences between the two Styles, increafed by one day

of days of the Julian common year from the ift of January
[Leap-years not being recognized.] N.B. As certain
years which follow intercalary Mohammedan years re¬
quire one day to be added to the fum, for the day of the
year, it is neceffary to afcertain by Rule I. what pofition
the preceding year held in the cycle, to know whether it
had been reckoned as an intercalary year.
Rule IV. To find the day of the year of the Mohammedan
date in quefiion.
Take the feria which was found by Rule I. and reckon,
by means of the key to the Hegira, the number of days
of the year which the date in queftion reaches.
Rule V. To find the Chrifiian date correfponding to the
given Mohammedan date.
Take the date in the Julian Calendar correfponding
to the commencement of the Mohammedan year in
queftion, found by previous Rules II. and III., and reckon
with that date, the number of days of the year, which the
Mohammedan date is found to reach from the ift of
Moharrern ; noting, that a Mohammedan year, the com¬
mencement of which correfponds to any Chriftian date
after the I ith of January in any year of our Lord, finifhes
in another Julian year, and therefore requires a change
in the Year-letter, for the verification of the day of the
week with the feria.
Rule VI. To reduce the Chrifiian Tear to the corre¬
fponding Mohammedan Tear.
Dedudl 622 from the given year of our Lord, multiply
the fum by 1*0307, and add 1.4600. The whole numbers
in the refult will be the year required.

1094*0020 = 1094 of the Hegira, which by
Rules II. and III. began on the 20th of December,
1682, Wednefday.
By Rule IV. one day added, increafed the date to the
21ft of December, 1682, Thurfday.
Rule VII. To find the jirfil day of the Mohammedan
Year correfponding to the Julian date in quejlion.
[Ufe previous Rules II. III. and I V.J
Note.—Another way to find the Julian date (Old Style)
correfponding to the firft day of the Mohammedan year
is as follows, and is comparatively eafy, when in con¬
tinuation of previous calculations.
Dedu£I 10 days from the date of the preceding year,
and make the day of the week of the j ulian year corre-
fpond to the initial feria of the month Moharrem by
adding one or two days, as the neceffity arifes j bearing
in mind, that as the Mohammedan year is a Lunar year,
it is fhort of the Solar year to the extent of 10, 11, or 12

days j the Julian Leap-year clafhing with the Moham¬
medan common year, being the caufe of the difference
amounting to 12 days.
The Mohammedan years commence and end with
ferics or days of the week in the following order.
Commencing in a common year with
feria VI — Friday, the year ends with feria II — Monday.
feria III n Tuefday ,, ,, feriaVI z~ Friday.
feria VII — Saturday „ „ feria III rz Tuefday.
feria IV — Wednefday „ „ feria VII — Saturday.
feria I — Sunday ,, „ feria IV — Wednefday.
feria V rz Thurfday ,, ,, feria I — Sunday.
feria II — Monday „ „ feria V — Thurfday.
But in an intercalary year, when one day is added to
the laft month, the commencement of the following year
is neceffarily one day later than it would have been if the
preceding year had been a common year.
Example.—Required the Chriftian date correfponding to the 17th
of the Moon of Gioumadi El-Aoual, 1094 of the Hegira. [This
date is the 135th day of the Mohammedan year and is in the 5th
month.]

14th of the cycle of 30 years.
By the table for Rule I. "remainder'" 14, over the quotient 1,
appears to give feria V = Thurfday. Thus— I14I

Note.—The year of the Hegira, 1094, was preceded by one which
was the 13th year of the cycle (an intercalary year), therefore one day
muft be added to the date found by Rule III.
Rule IF. The 17th of Gioumadi El-Aoual is the 135th day of the
Mohammedan Year [ fee Key to the Calendar of the Hegira], while
the feria or day of the week of that date is VI — Friday in the year
1094 of the Hegira, which began with Thurfday.
Note.—The Julian date in this inftance found correfponding to the
commencement of the Mohammedan Year, by Rule III., is the 20th
of December, 1682, Wednefday. One day has therefore to be added
to make that date accord with the day of the week for the Moham¬
medan date found by Rule I., 'viz. feria V — Thurfday; this addi¬
tion of one day is required, in confequence of the preceding Mo¬
hammedan year having been an intercalary one. The addition of
one day will alfo be required in certain other years when the Julian

Leap-years and the Mohammedan intercalary years clafh. But this
can eafily be fet right by advancing the Julian date, and taking care
always to make the day of the week of the Julian date, correfpond
to the day reprefented by the feria belonging to the Mohammedan
date found by Rule I.
Rule V. The date in queftion, *viz. the 17 th of the month of
Gioumadi El-Aoual, has been proved by Rule IV to be the 135th
day of the Mohammedan year beginning with feria V — Thurfday,
which was Ihown by Rule III. to be the commencement of the year
1094 of the Hegira. Now if we take the Julian date correfponding
to the commencement of the Mohammedan year, found by Rule III.
[which was increafed and advanced to 21 December, 1682, O. S., by
the note after Rule IV], and reckon the 135th day of fuch date [fee
table fhowing the days of the year, p. 239], we lhall come to the 4th
of May, 1683, which date, with Year-Letter G, falls on Friday.
[See Calendar of Letter G, p. 55.]
The 17th day of Gioumadi El-Aoual, 1094, of the Hegira,
feria VI — Friday,
thus correfponds to 4 May, 1683, zz Friday.

XVII. The Solar Cycle.
HE Solar Cycle confifts of 28 Julian years,
after the lapfe of which, the fame days of
the week, on the Julian fyftem, would always
return to the fame days of each month
throughout the year. Four fuch years confift of 1461
days, which is not a multiple of 7 ; the leaft number
of years, therefore, which will fulfil this condition, mult
be feven times that interval, or 28 years.
The place in this cycle for any year of the Chriftian
era is found by adding 9 to the Chriftian year's number,
and dividing by 28. The quotient being the number of
cycles elapfed fince the year 9 B.C. [to which r, of the firft
cycle, that ends within the Chriftian era, belongs]. The
remainder being the number fought, o being counted
as 28. Thus:—1868
9
28)1877(67
168
' 197
196
• * 1 = the 1 ft year of the 68th cycle,
from 9 B.C.
The reafon why we have to add 9 to any year of the
Chriftian era, is becaufe the firft year of the firft Solar
Cycle has been affigned to a point in time, from which
the 10th year of a cycle falls to the fixed point in time,
1 A.D.
252
XVIII. The Golden Numbers
of the Metonic Lunar Cycle, and the Dionyfian Cycle
of 19 years.
UMBERS 1 to 19 were firft introduced by
Meton, an aftronomer, living in Athens,
Ol. 87. i = 432 b.c., to indicate the date
of the Calendar New Moon, commencing
with 1, on the 13th of Scirophorion = July. This is
called the Metonic Lunar Cycle; for, upon the comple¬
tion of 19 years, or 235 lunations, which differ from 19
Julian years of 365^ days only by about an hour and a half,
the new moon, which happened on the 6th of January in
the firft year of the cycle, again happened on that day,
almoft within an hour and a half of the fame hour of the
day, after a lapfe of 19 years, but certainly within an
hour and a half of the day, after a lapfe of four fuch
cycles or 76 years [which is called the Calippic period.]
The order of the numbers of the Metonic Cycle was
changed, when newer cycles were introduced, e. g. the
Lunar Cycle of Pope Hilarius introduced a. d. 463, [the
numbers of which appear in Saxon charters], begins with
I, on the 16th of July in the Julian Calendar, and differs
from the Metonic Cycle to the extent of three numbers;
for I of the Metonic Cycle = IV of the Lunar Cycle
of Pope Hilarius. And when Dionyfius Exiguus intro¬
duced his cycle of 19 years, for his Pafchal Cycle a.d.
532, Golden number I was made to fall to the 19th of
July, and a difference of three numbers again created;
as I of the Lunar Cycle of Pope Hilarius = IV of the
Dionyfian Cycle of 19 years, [fee table with the Chriftian
Era, No. XII of the Eras].
The Golden numbers of the Dionyfian Cycle of 19
The IndiSlion.
253
years have been ufed by Scaliger in the conftrudtion of
the Julian period, in connection with the numbers of the
Solar Cycle, and the Cycle of the Roman Indiction.
To find the number of the Dionyfian Cycle of 19 years,
add 1 to the given year of the Chriftian era, [becaufe
number II belongs to i a.d. according to the Dionyfian
fyftem] ; then divide the fum by 19, the quotient will
ftiow the number of cycles elapfed fince the year 1 b.c.,
and the remainder will reprefent the year of the cycle.
See p. 123 for " Table for finding the Golden Numbers of
the Dionyfian Cycle of 19 years,' during the Chrijlian Era.
XIX. The Indidion.
HE Jndidiion inftituted by Conftantine the
Great is a cycle of fifteen years. The years
of the IndiClion are defignated thus : Indic¬
tion 1,2, 3, 4, Sic. until 15, when Indication
I comes again into ufe j and fo on with each number
until each cycle of 15 years has been completed. Accounts
of tributes were kept by the Indications. Afterwards, in
memory of the great victory obtained by Conftantine over
Maxentius, [viii. Kal. Oct. 312 a.d.], by which an entire
freedom was given to Chriftianity, the Council of Nice,
for the honour of Conftantine, ordained that the account
of years fhould be no longer kept by the Olympiads,
which till that time had been done, but that inftead
thereof the Indidiion fihould be made ufe of, by which to
reckon and date the years. [This is evidently the Csela-
rian or Imperial Indication which began on the 24th of
September a.d. 312]. The Roman Indication com¬
mencing a.d. 313, January i, has been ufed with the
Julian period by Scaliger. To find the place of a year
254
The IndiBion.
of the Chriftian era, in the indidtional cycle, add 3, [be-
caufe i a.d. has Indidtion 4], and divide by 15, the
remainder [or 15 if o remain], is the number of the
indidtional year.
Four dates appear to have been ufed for the com¬
mencement of the " Indidtion."
I. The Indidtion of Conftantinople, inftituted by Con-
ftantme a.d. 312, beginning on the ift of Sep¬
tember.
II. The Imperial or Caefarian Indidtion, beginning
a.d. 312 on the 24th of September, which has
been commonly ufed in England and France.
III. The Roman or Pontificial Indidtion, beginning
a.d. 313 on the i ft of January, the numbers of
which cycle were adopted by Scaliger in con-
ftrudling the Julian period. The name " Ponti¬
ficial Indidtion " has been given to it, becaufe it
was generally ufed in Papal Bulls from the ninth
to the fourteenth century, commencing fometimes
on the 25th of December, when that date was
confidered to be the commencement of the year.
IV. An Indidtion commencing in Odtober feems to
have been ufed in the Regifter of the Parliament
of Paris.
The following table, for finding the Roman Indidtion
beginning a.d. 313 on the ift of January, will alfo ferve
for the other indidtions, by making the number found for
the Roman Indidtion ferve for that portion of the pre¬
vious year which belongs to the indidtion required.
Thus, 1 of the Roman Indidtion for 313 may belong to
312 from the 24th of September for the Imperial or
Caefarian Indidtion, and in like manner for fubfequent
years the other numbers.

XX. The Julian Period.
IFFERENT nations, in various ages of the
world, have of courfe reckoned their time
in. different ways, and from different epochs j
it is therefore a matter of great convenience
that aftronomers and chronologies (as they have agreed
on the uniform adoption of the Julian fyftem of years
and months) fhould alfo agree on an epoch antecedent to
them all, to which, as to a fixed point in time, the whole
lift of chronological eras can be referred. Such an epoch
is the noon of the ift of January 4713 b.c, [for aftrono¬
mers, but immediately after the previous midnight for
hiftorians], which is called the epoch of the Julian period,
a cycle of 7980 Julian years: to underftand the origin
of which, we muft explain that it is compofed of three
fubordinate cycles, by the multiplication together of the
numbers of years contained in each cycle, viz. 28, the
number of years for the Solar Cycle ; 19, for the Diony-
flan cycle of 19 years ; and 15, the number of years for
the cycle of the Roman Indi£tion.
Thus,—28 x 19 x 15 — 7980 years, which form the
firft cycle of the Julian period introduced by Jofeph
Julius Scaliger a.d. 1583, to be ufed in computing time,
to avoid the puzzling ambiguity attendant on reckoning
any year prior to the Chriftian era. The mo ft compe¬
tent authorities, fays Sir John Herfchel, in his " Outlines
of Aftronomy," declare that through its employment
light and order were firft introduced into chronology.
" The firft year of the current Julian period, or that
kt of which the number of each of the three fubordinate
" cycles is i, was the year 4713 b.c., and the noon of

u letters G F] of that year, for the meridian of Alex-
" andria, is the chronological epoch to which all hifto-
" rical eras are mo ft readily and intelligibly referred [by
u aftronomers], by computing the number of integer
" days intervening between that epoch and the noon [for
" Alexandria] of the day which is reckoned to be the
" firft of the particular era in queftion. The meridian
" of Alexandria is chofen, as that to which Ptolemy
" refers the commencement of the era of Nabonaflar,
" the bafis of all his calculations."
In forming the Julian period, Scaliger appears to have
traced back, before i a.d. [the firft year of the Chriftian
era], with the numbers of two of the three cycles, from
the dates when they feverally commence, to a point in
time at which the initial number of each of thofe two
cycles would fall together, with the initial number of the
Solar Cycle, taking 5777 B«c.* for the firft year of the
Solar Cycle, a number of years happening to reprefent
the mundane era of Alexandria in 285 a.d., according
to the then corrected date. The Julian period thus
embraces the whole period of facred and profane hiftory,
4713 b.c. being the year to which the initial number of
each of the three cycles can belong; viz. of the Solar
Cycle from 5777 b.c. reckoning towards i a.d. ; of the
Dionyfian Cycle of 19 years, back from 532 a.d., to which
Golden number I belongs; and of the cycle of the in-
didftion, back from 313 a.d., to which the firft Roman
indidtion belongs, reckoning back to 4713 before i a.d.
The period of time prior to the Chriftian era thus
embraced being 4713 years, it follows that 3267 years,
commencing with 1 a.d., muft elapfe before the firft

cycle of 7980 years can be complete, and the firft year
of the fecond cycle of the Julian period can be reckoned.
The year of the Chriftian era correfponding to a given
year of the Julian period can be found by deducting 4713
from the given year. And the year b.c. which correfponds
to any given year of the Julian period not exceeding 4713
will be known by deducting the given year from 4714.
Thus,—4710 P. J. = 4 b.c.
and 4714 P. J. = 1 a.d.
Given the year of the Julian period, thofe of the fub-
ordinate cycles are eafily determined by dividing the
Julian period by the number reprefenting the cycle re¬
quired, e.g. 28 for the Solar Cycle; 19 for the Lunar
cycle; and 15 for the indi£tional cycle. The'remainder
being the fum fought, 0 reprefenting the "cycle." Con-
verfely,—given the years of the Solar and Lunar Cycles,
for one and the fame year [the latter being the Dionyfian
Cycle of 19 years introduced a.d. 532], and of the Roman
Indiclion for the fame year, to determine the year of the
Julian period, proceed as follows ;—Multiply the number
of the year in the Solar Cycle by 4845, in the Lunar
Cycle by 4200, and in the cycle of the indiclion by 6916 ;
divide the fum of the products by 7980, and the remainder

XXI. The Greek Era.
HIS era dates from the reign of Seleucus*
Nicanor, 311 years and 4- months B.C.
The year is of the Julian form, with Sy¬
rian names for the months. The Syrian
Greeks began their year about the commencement of
260 The Hebrew Era.
September; other Syrians in October, while the Jews,
who ufed this era, began their civil year with the autum¬
nal equinox. It is aflerted that the Jews did not difcon-
tinue the ufe of this era for the one they now have until
within the laft four hundred years.
In the book of Maccabees we find Cafleu [?Keflev]
given as the 9th month. 44 [1 Maccabees ch. v. ver. 52.
44 Now on the five-and-twentieth day of the 9th month
44 which is called Cafleu in the 148th year &c.]" by
which we know that Nifan was the fi.rjl month, according
to the ecclefiaftical year of the Jews at the prefent day.
The names of the Syrian months are as follows:—
I. Elul ~ September
II. Tifhrin I. zz Oftober
III. Tiihrin II. ~ November
IV. Canun I. = December
V. Canun II ~ January
VI. Shubat zz February
VII. Adar = March
VIII. Nifan zz April
IX. Ayar zz May
X. Hazivan — June
XI. Tamuz zz July
XII. Ab zz Auguft.
To reduce the dates of this era to thofe of the common
Chriftian era, dedu£l 312 from the given year. Thus,—
the 314th year of the Greek era = 2 a.d. [i September].
XXII. The Hebrew Era.
HE Hebrew year, in early times, is faid to
have been a lunar year without intercalation,
[fee L'Art de Verifier les Dates']. But if
that were the cafe, the months would have
revolved through all the feafons ; and the lunar year
being about 11J- days fhort of the folar year, the cycle
of feafons would be complete in little more than 34
years.
The Hebrew Era. 261
Bacon, in his eflay entitled " Of vicijfitude of things,"
notices a fuppofed feafon cycle of 35 years ; he fays,
" There is a Toy which I have heard, and I would not
" have it given over, but waited upon a little. They
" fay, it is obferved in the Low Countries (I know not
" in what part) that every five and thirty years the fame
" kind and fuit of years and weathers comes about again :
<{ as great frofts, great wet, great droughts, warm winters,
" fummers with little heat, and the like : and they call
" it the Prime. It is a thing I do rather mention, be-
" caufe counting backwards I have found fome con-
" currence."
It has been ftated, that the Jews made ufe of the
Greek era which was eftablifhed in the year 311 B.C.,
ufing with it the numbers of the Metonic Cycle. Now
if we take the date [1491 B.C.] given in the Bible for that
part of the book of Exodus in which the inftitution of the
Paflover is noticed and ordered to be obferved on the 14th
of the month of Abib [Exodus, ch. xii. vers. 2 and 18, and
ch. xiii. vers. 4 and 10], we (hall find, that in the ift year
of the 36th cycle of 34 years, correfponding nearly to the
year 300 B.C. in July or Auguft], the months of the
Jewifh year, [if it be true, that a lunar year without
intercalation was obferved,] would again be in the fame
relative pofition to the months of the Julian year, fo in-
terpretedy as they were in 1491 B.C.; the lunar months
having retrograded, fo far as concerns their correfpon-
dence with the months of the folar year, to the extent of
one month, in little lefs than three years, and in fuch
order, that Tijri would fall with the autumnal equinox
in the fame year that the month Ab, the eleventh
month, would correfpond to July and Auguft, in part
And Nifan, which is now the firft "month of the Jewifh
262 The Hebrew Era.
ecclefiaftical year, would fall to the vernal equinox =
March and April, according to the order of the months
of the year ufed with the Era of the Greeks.
The Jewifh year is now Luni-Solar, and although
the months are lunar, yet the calculations being founded
on the Metonic Lunar Cycle, with 235 lunations, it fol¬
lows that the cycle is completed in 19 years. Twelve
years have twelve months ; and feven, termed intercalary
or embolifmic years, have 13 months, when Veadar is
introduced.
The names of the months are as follows, the year
being of three kinds, common, perfedl, and imperfedf.

The Lunar Cycle ufed by Chriftians, about the middle
of the fifth century, appears to have been the guide for
the numbers of the cycle now ufed by the Jews, for we
find them correfponding to the Lunar Cycle introduced
by Pope Hiiarius a.d. 463,,fo far as the ecclefiaftical
year of the Jews is concerned. And this is evidence
The Hebrew Era. 263
againft the ftatement which appears in an account of the
Jewifh Calendar [E. H. Lindo, 1838], that the difference
between the Jewifh year of the cycle and the Golden
Number " arises from the uncertainty of the foundation of
the Chrijiian era." We cannot fee how this ftatement
can be juftified; for 1 a.d., determined by Dionyfius a.d.
532, is a fixed point in time by which any earlier date
can be regulated with the letters " B.C." For example :—
The firft year of the Metonic Cycle was 432 b.c. The
uncertainty referred to is fuppofititious, and can only have
been taken into confideration by the Jews, fince the date
of the introduction of the Dionyfian fyftem [532 a.d.],
as from that date we firft have evidence of the difference
of four years between the annus verus and the Dionyfian
commencement of the Chriftian era, or of three numbers
between the Lunar Cycle introduced by Hilarius a.d. 463
and the Dionyfian Cycle of 19 years, and of fix numbers
between the latter cycle and the Metonic Cycle.
The commencement of the Jewifh year, whether civil
or ecclefiaftical, can be determined with tolerable cor-
reCfnefs by means of the Golden Number for the year ;
bearing in mind, that the number for the Jewifh eccle¬
fiaftical year, commencing with Nifan, is always three
numbers fhort of the number of the Dionyfian cycle of
19 years, in each year, until the civil year begins with
1 Tifri at the time of the autumnal equinox. Thus :—
a.d, 1868, during the 5628th Jewifh year, Golden Num¬
ber VII = IV of the Jewifh Cycle. But at the com¬
mencement of the Jewifh civil year, 5629, a new number
of the J ewifh Cycle coming then into ufe, Golden Number
VII = V of the Jewifh Cycle, and that difference of two
numbers will be apparent until the end of the Chriftian
year in December.
264 'The Hebrew Era.
The reafon of the introduction of Veadar, or the
fecond Adar, is, that Paffover may be kept in its proper
feafon, which is the full moon of the vernal equinox, or
after the fun has entered the firft point of Aries. The
year being regulated by the new moon of the vernal
equinox the civil year commences with 1 Tifri in a
common year, 177 days before the date of u new moon j"
and upon the introduction of Veadar, New-year's day of
the civil year will be found to have been 207 days before
the " Calendar New Moon," with which the J e with
ecclefiaftical year began.
The embolifmic or intercalary years in whichV eadar
has to be introduced are the 3rd, 6th, 8th, nth, 14th,
17th, and 19th years of the cycle of nineteen years. To
find whether the year be an embolifmic year, or a com¬
mon year, divide the year's number by 19, and if the
remainder be not either of the above numbers the year
will be a common year.
We may here remark, that the obfervance of " Paff¬
over" at the prefent time by the Jews, on the 14th day
after the " New Moon," appears not to be in accordance
with the order made for its obfervance at the time of its
inftitution ; but this may poffibly have been a praCtice
introduced with the cycle which has been regulated by
the Lunar cycle ufed by Chrillians. Further,—the Jews,
to avoid celebrating " Paffover" on Monday, Wednef-
day, or Friday, obferve " New Moon" one day earlier
or later than the date indicated by the Golden Number;
by which arrangement, the Jewiih year called a perfefl
year has fometimes 355 or 385 days.
The imperfeSi year of 353 or 383 days is caufed by
Kiflev having only 29 days, and this happens when Nifan
falls in a Chriftian leap-year, or when, by changing the
The Hebrew Era. 265
date for the obfervance of " New Moon," the year has
one day lefs.
The common year is when no change is required, the
year having 354 or 384 days.
With thefe notes concerning the Hebrew Calendar, it
will be obvious that a calendar to ferve perpetually can¬
not be eafily produced; but if we take the date of the
new moon of the vernal equinox indicated by the Golden
Number, according to the following tables, we fhall be
able to determine the date of the Jewifh civil year, within
a day, for the modern Jewifh Calendar. The new moon
which regulates the Jewifh year for the New Style appears
to have been obferved as late as the 9th of April and not
earlier than the 12th of March from 1583 to 1699, and
not earlier than the 13th of March, for the prefent 19th
century [or 1700 to 1899]. The reafon of this appears
to be, that at the time when Pope Leo X. wrote to
Henry VIII. concerning the neceffity for a change, the
new moon was confidered to be five days old when it
was reckoned the firft by the church [fee Preface]; hence
we find that the Jews advanced the numbers of their
cycle, reprefenting the date of the new moon, to the
fifth day, on the firft introduction of the Gregorian
calendar j and to the fixth day for the years 1700 to
1899 a.d., but ftill obferving a difference of three num¬
bers, according to the Lunar Cycle of Hilarius introduced
a.d. 463. Previous to which date, the Metonic Cycle
being ufed by the jews, the date of the new moon,
a.d. 30, appears to have been the 22nd of March, with
Golden Number VI. of the Metonic Cycle [fee p. 224],
the 14th of which, was the 4th of April [the evening of
the preparation of the Paffover], and the next day, the
5th of April, was the day of the Paffover. [fee p. 23].

The Mundane Era. 269
XXIII. The Era of Abraham.
HIS era precedes the common Chriftian era
by about 2015 years, beginning with a date
correfponding to the ift of October 2016
b c. [fo interpreted]. Therefore to reduce
our own Chriftian time dedu£t 2015 years
and the three months October, November and December
from 2016.
To reduce this era to our Chriftian era (as 2017 =
1 a.d.) fubtradt 2016 from the year of the era of Abra¬
ham.
Thus,—the commencement of the year of the era of
Abraham 2017 = 1 a.d. i October.
2018 = 2 a.d.
And for years B.C. dedudt the year of this era from 2017.
Thus the commencement of the year of the era of Abra-
iam 2016 = 1 b.c. i October.
This era was ufed by Eufebius, who died 338 a.d.
this era to
XXIV. The Mundane Era,
or
Era of the Creation of the World.
HE date of the creation has been adopted as
an epoch by Chriftian and Jewifh writers;
but there are as many as one hundred and
forty different dates given for the Mundane
era.
2JO The Mundane Era.
The Mundane Era of Chriftians.
The date which has been adopted by Chriftians is
4004 years before 1 a.d.
The Mundane Era of Conftantinople.
The creation of the world was fuppofed to be 5508 b.c.,
according to Ruffian writers, who ufed this era until the
time of Peter the Great. This era is ftill ufed by the
Greek Church.
The Mundane Era of Antioch
and
The Mundane Era of Alexandria.
Thefe two eras are placed together, becaufe, although
they differed at the time of their formation, yet after¬
wards they coincided.
According to the Alexandrian era, the creation of the
world was confidered to be at a point in time corre-
fponding to our Chriftian calculation of 5502 years b.c.,
thus i a.d. — 754 a.u.c. = 5503 a.m. This computa¬
tion was in ufe with the early Chriftian writers until 284
a.d. = 5786 a.m. But in the next year [285 a.d.]
which would have been called 5787 a.m., ten years were
deducted from the reckoning, and the date became 5777
a.m., the date ftill ufed by the Abyffinians.
To reduce the Mundane era of Alexandria to the
common Chriftian era dedu£t 5502 until the year 5786
a.m., and after that time deduct 5492.
According to the era of Antioch the creation of the
The Chinefe Tear.
271
world has been reckoned 5492 years B.C., by which
calculation 285 a.d. = 5777 a.m. of this era, corre-
fponding in that year to the Alexandrian era.
To reduce the Mundane era of Antioch to the com¬
mon Chriftian era, dedudl 5492.
XXV. The Chinefe Year.
HINA, like all nations of the north-eaft of
Alia, has a fyftem by which time is com¬
puted by cycles of 60 years; and inftead
of numbering the years as we Ihould, the
Chinefe give a different name to every year in the cycle.
The Chinefe months are lunar, of 29 and 30 days
each. Their years have ordinarily twelve months, but
a thirteenth is added whenever there are two moons
while the fun is one fign of the Zodiac, and this will
occur feven times in nineteen years, as with the Metonic
Cycle.
The fir It cycle, according to the Romifh miffionaries,
began 2397 b.c., but according to the celebrated hiftorian
Choo-foo-tfze, it was 2700 b.c., making, according to
this latter date, 76 cycles and 9 years to the prefent
time [1869 a.d.]j
To find the Chinefe time, when the cycle is known,
and to reduce it to the Chriltian dates before 1 a.d.,
e.g. the 56th year of the 45th cycle, or 44 cycles and
56 years = 2696 years of the Chinefe time.
Multiply the cycles elapfed by 60, add the odd years,
and dedu£t the fum from 2700, when the remainder will
be the years B.C.

To find the year of our Lord, correfponding to the
Chinefe date, reduce the cycles as before, by multiplying
by 60, and adding the odd years. Deducing 2700 from
this fum, the remainder will fhow the year of our Lord.
Required the year of our Lord for the 2nd year of the
46th cycle, or 45 cycles and 2 years of Chinefe time.

to the date of the New Moon in February, indicated by the Golden
Number for the Chriftian year; vide p. 224., table of correfponding
numbers of the Cycles of 19 years.
The Eras of India. 272#
The Kali-yug.
HE moft ancient era of India is the Kali-
yug, which dates from Friday the 18th day
of February (fo interpreted), 3102 b.c. It
begins with the entrance of the fun into
the Hindoo fign Jfiuiny but on account of the precejjion
of the equinoxes it advances at the rate of a day in fixty
years. For example,—If in the year 1600 of the Chris¬
tian era the Kali-yug began on the 28th of March Old
Style = the 7th of April New Style, it would in 1869
begin on the 1 ft of April Old Style — the 13th of April
New Style.
[Note.-—Precejfon of the equinoxes. As the earth goes
round the fun, we obferve that at the end of a fidereal year
the fun occupies the fame pofition among the fixed ftars as
at the beginning of it. The fidereal year confifts of about
365 !- days, a day meaning the time of one rotation of the
earth on its own axis, or the average time in which the
fun twice pafles the fame meridian. An equinoctial year
is the time that elapfes between two paflages of the fun
through the vernal equinox; and if the vernal equinox
were a fixed point, the equinoCtial year would be of
the fame length as the fidereal year; but as the vernal
equinox has a flight perpetual movement in a direction
oppofite to the fun's annual courfe, the fun annually
reaches it fooner by about 20^ minutes than it would
if the point were fixed, and thus the equinoClial year is
fo much Shorter than the fidereal year. This movement
of the equinox, to meet the fun in his annual courfe, is
called the preceffion of the equinoxes, and was difcovered
by Hipparchus about 150 years before i a.d. It has
amounted to about 30°, — one month, in 2000 years.]
t
272b The Eras of India.
The Era of Salivahana.
HIS era is reckoned from 78 a.d. and may
be joined with the Kali-yug, as the names
of the months, divifions and commencement
of the two, are identical. The years of the
Era of Salivahana are called Saka.
The Era of Vikramaditya.
HIS era obtains its name from a Sovereign of
Malwa j it began 57 years before 1 a.d.,
that number muft therefore be deducted for
years of the Chriftian era. The years are
called Samvat; the months are the fame as thofe ufed
with the two preceding eras.
Regnal Years of the Sovereigns
of England.
UBLIC documents in England, from the
time of Richard the Firft, down to the pre-
fent day, have been ufually dated with the
year of the reign of the fovereign, and not
with the year of our Lord. [We muft, however, except
the years following the death of Charles the Firft, until
rhe reftoration of Charles the Second [1648-9 to 1660],
when the name of the fovereign giving place to " The
" Keepers of the Libertie of England by authority of Par-
" lamentduring the firft five years, and afterwards,
" Oliver Lord Protestor of the Commonwealth of England
" Scotland & Ireland and the Dominions thereto belonging,"
the year of our Lord, the month, and the day of the month
were the only dates given], confequently, to be able to
determine the year of our Lord for any year of a fove-
reign's reign, we muft have a chronological lift, fhowing
the firft and laft date of the reign of each fovereign.
In the early years of the Lnglifti hiftory, after the
Norman Conqueft, it appears that the reign of the fove¬
reign did not commence until fome act of fovereignty
had been performed ; the commencement of the reign

being fo me times reckoned from the day of the coronation,
of which pradftice there is evidence amongft the memoranda
taken from the " Black Book " of the Exchequer, under
the date " 16 November" [fee p. 76], where the years
of the reign of Henry III. have been counted from his
coronation. It is obvious, however, that the dates given
in the "Public Records" for the commencement and
termination of each fovereign's reign, muft alone be re¬
cognized, to the exclufion of all other fyftems, when our
obje£t is to verify written dates to be met with in the
Legal Records. A queltion concerning the date of the
acceffion of the fovereign was taken into confideration in
the firft year of the reign of Elizabeth, in Michaelmas
term, when the judges, Chief Baron, Attorney-General,
and Solicitor-General formed feveral refolutions in relation
to the ftatute [1 Edward VI, c. 7] for the difcontinuance
of certain offices on the demife of the king; the firft
being, that " the king, who is heir or fucceffor, may write
" and begin his reign the faid day that his progenitor or
" predecellor died."

The Julian form of Year.
i January to 31 December.
HIS is the fixed form of year ufed by the
Chriftian Church, fuiting the fyftem by which
the Dominical Letters are found for the years
of the Chriftian era, according to the reck¬
oning of Dionyfius Exiguus, a. d. 532 ; as well as that by
which the pofitions of the numbers of the Dionyfian
Cycle of 19 years indicate in the Roman Calendar the
date of the Ecclefiaftical New Moon throughout the
year, ferving for the calculation of Eafter in every year,
according to the Old Style date, before 1583, a.d. in cer¬
tain countries foreign to England, and before 1753, a.d.
in England.
This Julian form ofyear obtains its name from C. Julius
Crefar, who introduced it A.u.c. 708 = 45 B.C. {i.e. 45

duced by Dionyfius Exiguus in the fixth
century, differs to the extent of four years
from the date which fuits the words of the gofpels, when
we reckon the Chriftian year from Chriftmas day, (the
25th of December).
" Our Lord was born in the1 28th year, when firjl the
cenfus was ordered to be taken in the reign of Augujlus
[Clement of Alexandria, Stromata, book i. chap, xxi.j
" Now when Jefus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the
days of Herod the king[St. Matthew, ii. I.]
The commencement of the Chriftian era being there¬
fore in the twenty-eighth year of Auguftus, we have to
difcover the year which was then ufed as the guiding date
for hiftorical fa£ts, to which the twenty-eighth of Auguf¬
tus would correfpond ; and as the " Year of Rome " was
then ufed, and reckoned from the 21ft of April to the
next 20th of April for one year, according to the calcula¬
tions of Varro (who died in the year 725 u. c.), we find
750 a.u.c. to be the year correfponding to the twenty-
eighth year of Auguftus, as the years of the Roman empe¬
rors were at firft reckoned from the date of the battle of
Aclium, which took place on the 2nd of September,
723 a.u.c. An inftance of this reckoning is given by
Jofephus in the paffage which refers to the cenfus taken
at the time of the depofition of Archelaus, in the tenth
year of his reign: " But in the tenth year of Archelaus's
Appendix.
" government, both his brethren and the principal men
44 of Judaea and Samaria, not being able to bear his bar-
" barous and tyrannical ufage of them, accufed him before
" Caefar. So Archelaus's country was laid to the province
" of Syria ; and Cyrenius, one that had been conful, was
" fent by Caefar to take account of the people's effedts
" in Syria, and to fell the houfe of Archelaus," [Jofephus,
Antlq. Jud., b. xvii., chap, xiii., 2, 5]. And again,
" When Cyrenius had now difpofed of Archelaus's money,
" and when the taxings were come to a conclufion, which
tc were made in the thirty-feventh year of CeefaAs victory
" over Antony at Adlium." [Id. xviii. chap. ii. 1].
The death of Herod can thus be eafily dated, as Arche¬
laus fucceeded Herod ; for, as the tenth year of the reign
of Archelaus, according to the ftatement of Jofephus,
was in the thirty-feventh year of Augufus, it follows that
the firft year of the reign of Archelaus was in the twenty-
eighth year of Auguftus, upon the death of Herod; and
as Archelaus mourned for his father feven days, and then
attended at the feaft of the paflover (the date of which we
can determine by the date of the new moon, the four¬
teenth day of which would be the time for the prepara¬
tion), we know that the date of the Paflover found with
the Golden number of the Metonic Cycle for the year
750 u.c. was the 14th of Nifan = 29-30 of March.
Having thus fhown that the years of Auguftus were in
the firft inftance reckoned from the date of the battle of
A&ium [723 A.u.c.], we can, without hefitation, ftate
that Chriftmas day, the 25th of December in the twenty-
eighth year of Auguftus, belonged to 750 A.u.c. according
to the fyftem of calculating the years at that time.
With reference to the time of taking the cenfus, we
find that " a cenfus was fometimes taken in the provinces,
3l8
Appendix.
44 even under the republic (Clc. Verr., 53, 56); but there
•4 feems to have been no general cenfus taken in the pro-
44 vinces till the time of Auguftus. This emperor caufed
44 an accurate account to be taken of all perfons in the
44 Roman dominion, together with the amount of their
44 property; and a fimilar cenfus was taken from time to
44 time by fucceeding emperors, at firft every ten, and
44 fubfequently every fifteen years" [Dr. Smith's 44 Dic-
44 tionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities"].
We will now {how how it happens that i a. d., accord¬
ing to the reckoning of Chriftians at the prefent day, was
made to correfpond to 754 a.u.c. by Dionyfius Exiguus,
a.d. 533. It appears that 44 after the battle of A6iium,
44 a quinquennial feftival was inftituted, and the birthday
44 of Auguftus, as well as that on which the victory was
44 announced at Rome, were regarded as feftival days.
44 * * * It was not, however, till b.c. 11 that the feftival
44 on the birthday of Auguftus was formally eftablifhed
44 by a decree of the Senate" \_Dion. Cafs. lib. 34]. * * *
44 The name Auguftus was beftowed on Odtavius in
44 the year 27 b.c. * * * It was, however, borne not
44 only by Tiberius and the other emperors connected
44 with the family of Auguftus, but was likewile adopted
44 by all fucceeding emperors, as if defcended either by
44 birth or adoption from the firft emperor of the Roman
44 world * * * From this time [the end of the fecond
44 century of the Chriftian era] we frequently find two,
44 or even a greater number of Augufti. * * * When
44 there were two Augufti, we find coins and infcriptions
44 avgg ; and when three, avggg" Dr. Smith's 44 Dic-
44 tionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities,"' Augujlalep.
And thus, as the name 44 Auguftus" became fo common
to the Roman rulers that two or three rulers could bear it
Appendix.
3*9
at the fame time, the years could no longer be reckoned
as of the reign of one perfon ; confequently the date of
the Auguftan era was then reckoned from the time of the
firft introduction of the name " Auguftus," which was
in the fifth year of the era of the Roman emperors; and
thus we find by the Roman reckoning the 28th year of
Auguftus has been made to correfpond (in part) to the
year of Rome 754 and 1 a.d. for the commencement of
the Chriftian era according to the Roman fyftem of reck¬
oning the era, as it is obferved at the prefent time.
At the time of the Council of Nice [a.d. 325], when
Sunday, the Chriftian Sabbath, was ordered to be obferved
by the Eaftern and Weftern Churches for the comme¬
moration of Eafter-day; the Chriftian Calendar corref-
ponded in form to that which fuited the J ulian form of year.
At a later date [a.d. 380], we find that Theophilus of
Alexandria introduced a Cycle of Golden Numbers for
the ready calculation of the date of Eafter-day, to fuit the
rule eftablifhed at the Council of Nice. Afterwards other
Cycles were introduced : the laft one being that which
governs our calculations for Eafter-day according to the
Old Style, the one which Dionyfius Exiguus ufed a.d. 533,
when the feven letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, being fixed
to the days of the year, Sunday appeared year after year
falling to a letter which would be known as the " Domi¬
nical Letter" for the year (obtaining its name from Domi¬
nica the Latin word for Sunday).
This Dionyfian fyftem, by a change in the order of the
Golden numbers, caufed the date of Eafter-day a.d. 533
to fall on Sunday the 27th of March, and thus our Good
Friday would have belonged to the 25th of March in that
year; the fame date which was obferved for the commemo¬
ration of the " Feajl of the Annunciation ofour Lady." Hence
Y
320
Appendix.
we have the 25th of March recognized as the commence¬
ment of the year of the " Era of the Incarnation of the
Word A according to the Dionyfian reckoning, which at
the Council of Celchyth in England, held a.d. 816, July
27, was ordered to be adopted by all bifhops, &c.
The previous fyftem obferved by Chriftians when they
reckoned their years was that which was known as the
" Era of Martyrs," commencing from the 29th of Auguft
a.d. 284 (fo interpreted), and reckoned in Cycles of 532
years ; and as the firft Cycle at the time of the Council
of Chelfea, a.d. 816, would then have been nearly at an
end, and the year one of the fecond Cycle of the u Era "
would have been brought into ufe on New Year's day of
the Egyptian year [1 Thoth = 2g Auguft a.d. 816], the
inconvenience likely to have arifen upon the repetition of
the years 1 to 532, after the completion of each Cycle,
was probably the caufe of the change being ordered to be
made.
We will now inftance the Dionyfian Cycle of 19 years,
reprefented by Golden Numbers for the Lunar Cycle, at
the prefent time ufed by the Chriftian Church (^although
the pofitions of the numbers were afterwards changed to
fuit the New Style of Pope Gregory's Calendar), and we
will fhow that, when the fyftem of the Pafchal Cycle of
532 years was introduced by Dionyfius, a.d. 532, the
numbers were arranged fo that n. of the numbers of the
cycle of 19 years, belonged to the year 1 a.d. according
to our prefent reckoning; and as the year before that
point in time (1 a.d. of the Roman reckoning) would
have had Year-Letters D. C., when the years beyond the
range of the Dionyfian reckoning of the Chriftian Era
were required to be brought into ufe with the Calendar
to determine the day of the week, it would be found that
Appendix.
321
Golden N umber I, of the Dionyfian reckoning, would
have fallen with the letters D. C. to the year known as
i b.c.; but as that year did not come within the range of
the Roman reckoning, the number I of the firft cycle of
532 years was reprefented by " O." Hence arofe a fyftem
by which the annus verus, or 4 b.c., was called by Ecclefi-
aftical writers 3 b.c., by the omiftion of 1 b.c., marked
" o," and thus great confufion has been caufed when
calculations have been made, Subject to that erroneous
fyftem. The following note, taken from a book entitled
" Outlines of Aftronomy," by Sir John Herfchel, 1871,
is an inftance in point.
"[916] In the hiftorical dating of events there is no
"year a.d. o. The year immediately previous to a.d. i
" is always called b.c. 1. This muft always be borne in
" mind in reckoning chronological and aftronomical in¬
tervals. The fum of the nominal years b.c. and a.d.
" muft be diminished by 1. Thus from Jan. 1, b.c.
"4713 to Jan. 1, a.d. 1582, the years elapfed are not
" 6295, but 6294."
This note is to be met with in editions of the "Outlines
" of Aftronomy " publifhed after the date of our Handy-
Book (1866), where we firft pointed out the miftake of
Sir H. Nicolas, whofe book Sir J. Herfchel quotes from.
By the following table of correfponding years of various
eras, we fhall be able to underftand the pofition which
i a.d. occupies, with regard to the years of other eras.

Departmental Years.
The Exchequer Tear.
T may be interefting to know that a fyftem
prevailed in the Exchequer of making up
accounts of the revenue commencing at
Ealfer and Michaelmas. The Hfue and
Receipt rolls of the Exchequer ferve as evidence of this
pradiice.
And following this fyftem to a certain extent we have
obferved that the Chancery Decree books commence
with Michaelmas.
The Financial Year.
This appears to have commenced always at Eafter,
according to the date which correfponded to the Ecclefi-
aftical commencement of the year, viz., the 25th of
March, and thus we have after the introdudfion of the
New Style of writing dates in England a.d. 1752, when
eleven days were ftruck out of the Calendar, the 5th of
April N. S. = the 25th of March O.S., from 1752 until
1800, and when 12 days difference was created by omit¬
ting the 29th of Eeb., 18do a.d., the 6th of April N.S.
= the 25th of March O.S.

* Purfuant to the Statute 24 George II. (vide Preface, p. xxii.), the natural
day immediately following Wednefday, the 2nd of September, 1752 a. d., was
called and reckoned the 14th of September (Thurfday), omitting the eleven inter¬
mediate nominal days of the common calendar, throughout all His Majefty's
dominions in Europe, Alia, Africa, and America; confequently, the Letter A
became the Year Letter for 1752 a.d. on and after the 14th of September, in
England, for New Style dates.
This adoption of the New Style in England caufed the date of Eafter-day to
be calculated according to the New Style in the year 1753, and fubfequently.
f By the omiilion of the " Eleven days," the 26th year of the reign of George
the Second, 1753 a.d., ended on the 21ft of June inftead of the 10th, and fo
with the fubfequent years. The following extraft from the Minute Book of the
Court of Exchequer illuftrates that fa£t:—
" Trinity Term in the zjtb and zZth years of the reign of King George the
" Second, 1754."
Thus, as Trinity Term commenced on Friday, the 14th of June, 1754 (vide
14 April in the Table of Law Terms, p. 181), that Term belonged partly to the
27th and 28th years of the reign, inftead of to the 28th alone.

After the death of John of Gaunt [3 Feb. 1398-9], and until the
acceflion of Henry the Fourth to the Crown, the eftates of the Duke of
Lancafter were dealt with by the reigning fovereign.
And from the date of Henry the Fourth"5 acceflion, the Ducal Years
and the Regnal Years of the fovereign correfponded. For, although
Henry, the fon of Henry the Fourth, was created Duke of Lancafter
on the 10th of November, 1399, after the acceflion of his father to the
throne, yet it appears by the Records that he exercifed no Palatinate
jurifdiftion.
Recent regulations concerning the jurifdiftion of the Palatinate Courts
are to be met with in the "Supreme Court of Judicature A61," 36 and
37 Vifloria, chap. 66.
