From: Peter Graham, Rutgers University Libraries
A full discussion of calendars and dates, from Egyptian and Roman through
Gregorian and Julian, is available at
<URL:http://es.rice.edu/ES/humsoc/Galileo/Things/gregorian_calendar.html>
from a Rice University source; it has references and notes, is about 10 pp.
long, and *looks* as authoritative as anything on the net (obviously a good
encyclopedia will cover this as well if you have access).
It might be a source for some of the text that Misha has suggested get put
into the Date "health warning. " --pg
******* New area code required in November, is usable now (was 908) ******
