Calendars

Period text and translation for a Book of Hours.

This is a version of the Julian calendar, as used in England, covering the 11th to 16th centuries. For each month, the calendar gives the days of the week and also the Roman-style dates in terms of Kalends, Nones and Ides. The calendar is organised either by historical year or, from the Norman conquest, by regnal year. For each year of either type the date of Easter Sunday is also given, to allow moveable church feasts to be dated.
