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.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"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

Book Description
The momentous task of assembling such a comprehensive and accurate collection of calendars could only have been achieved by the authors of the definitive text on calendar algorithms, Calendrical Calculations. Using the algorithms outlined in their earlier book, Professors 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The Perfect Companion to "Calendrcal Calculations",
By
This review is from: Calendrical Tabulations, 1900-2200 (Hardcover)
Whether you have enjoyed the previous book "Calendrical Calculations : The Millenium Edition", or you do not care for that book's theory, you'll love this one because you get to see the results, laid out in clean crisp typography, with many small details (holidays, moon phases, ...) that make this book a pleasure to use as a reference. Well worth the price.
