Lionel Munby’s authoritative, concise guide to systems of recording time and dates has been reissued to meet popular demand. Exploring how time has been measured in the past and how dating systems have evolved, its tables of regnal years in England from Henry II to Elizabeth II will help in ascribing dates to older documents, while other topics include the date of New Year’s Day and the Julian and Gregorian calendars. With appendices on the Muslim calendar, the Jewish calendar, the Orthodox year, the Quaker (Society of Friends) dating system, among much else, this publication is a valuable resource for national, local and family historians.
