medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Here are a some useful links to calendar converters and similar reference
material for historians and similar researchers. Most of these pages have
links to general discussions of calendars and historical dating.
First, from the GenUKI (genealogy of UK and Ireland) website
(http://www.genuki.org.uk/):
--For conversions between the Gregorian and Julian calendars see Steven
Gibbs' Roman Numeral and Date Conversion page:
http://www.guernsey.net/~sgibbs/roman.html
--The Albion College (Michigan) website has several pages relating to the
English Calendar including:
-a regnal year calculator:
http://www.albion.edu/english/calendar/regnal.htm
-an ecclesiastical calendar calculator for Easter and other major feasts:
http://www.albion.edu/english/calendar/easter.htm
-an old<>new style date converter:
http://www.albion.edu/english/calendar/style.htm
-a calculator for figuring the day of the week for any given date after 325
AD, old or new style: http://www.albion.edu/english/calendar/weekday.htm
Second, from Jim Martindale's Reference Desk site at UC-Irvine
(http://www-sci.lib.uci.edu/HSG/Ref.html), which has links to 15,240
different kinds of calculators--exclamation mark:
--Fourmilab's Gregorian, Julian, Hebrew, Islamic, and other calendar
converters: http://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/calendar/
--Marco Monte's extensive ecclesiastical calendar calculator which, among
other things, figures Easter in the Western and Orthodox-New Calendarist,
and Orthodox-Old Calendarist traditions, with historical notes and provisos
(many other useful links too): http://www.smart.net/~mmontes/ec-cal.html
--Dieter Egger's Julian/Gregorian calculator also includes a
days/hours/minutes feature (astronomers and computer programmers sometimes
need these): http://alpha.fesg.tu-muenchen.de/dieter/java/DTCalendar.html
