    This comprehensive collection of calendars could only have been assembled by the authors of the definitive text on calendar algorithms, Calendrical Calculations. Using the algorithms outlined in their earlier book, Reingold and Dershowitz have achieved the near impossible task of simultaneously displaying the date on thirteen different calendars over a three-hundred year period. Represented here are the Gregorian, ISO, Hebrew, Chinese, Coptic, Ethiopic, Persian, Hindu lunar, Hindu solar, and Islamic calendars; another three are easily obtained from the tables with minimal arithmetic (JD, R.D., and Julian). The tables also include phases of the moon, dates of solstices and equinoxes, and religious and other special holidays for all the calendars shown. These beautifully-produced tables will be of use for centuries by anyone with an interest in calendars and the societies that produce them.

    • There is no comparable book in existence
    • Other calendar listings cover a small fraction of the range of calendars and are generally extremely inaccurate
    • Tables are based on the algorithms from Calendrical Calculations; the millennium edition, and are hence extremely accurate

    Reviews & endorsements

    "Readers who doubt that calendrical tabulations are of general interest should check their library's circulation records; in the reviewer's library, a number of the books were charged out .... This work will maintain its usefulness for many years to come. Highy recommended." Choice

    "Those persons engaged in any sort of calendrical calibrations will find this volume extremely helpful." Trinity Journal, James R. Moore, Trinity International University
