    Julian day From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Julian date" redirects here. For dates in the Julian calendar, see Julian calendar. For day of year, see Ordinal date. For the comic book character Julian Gregory Day, see Calendar Man. Not to be confused with Julian year (astronomy). Julian day is the continuous count of days since the beginning of the Julian Period used primarily by astronomers. The Julian Day Number (JDN) is the integer assigned to a whole solar day in the Julian day count starting from noon Greenwich Mean Time, with Julian day number 0 assigned to the day starting at noon on January 1, 4713 BC, proleptic Julian calendar (November 24, 4714 BC, in the proleptic Gregorian calendar),[1] a date at which three multi-year cycles started and which preceded any historical dates.[2] For example, the Julian day number for the day starting at 12:00 UT on January 1, 2000, was 2,451,545.[3] The Julian date (JD) of any instant is the Julian day number for the preceding noon in Greenwich Mean Time plus the fraction of the day since that instant. Julian dates are expressed as a Julian day number with a decimal fraction added.[4] For example, the Julian Date for 00:30:00.0 UT January 1, 2013, is 2,456,293.520833.[5] The Julian Period is a chronological interval of 7980 years beginning 4713 BC. It has been used by historians since its introduction in 1583 to convert between different calendars. 2015 is year 6728 of the current Julian Period.

  • Julian Calendar from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Julian calendar From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Julian calendar, proposed by Julius Caesar in 46 BC (708 AUC), was a reform of the Roman calendar.[1] It took effect on 1 January 45 BC (AUC 709), by Calendar Date edict. It was the predominant calendar in the Roman world, most of Europe, and in Gregorian 30 August 2017 European settlements in the Americas and elsewhere, until it was refined and gradually replaced by the Gregorian calendar, promulgated in 1582 by Pope Julian 17 August 2017 Gregory XIII. The Julian calendar gains against the mean tropical year at the rate of one day in 128 years. For the Gregorian the figure is one day in 3,030 years.[2] The difference in the average length of the year between Julian (365.25 days) and Gregorian (365.2425 days) is 0.002%. The Julian calendar has a regular year of 365 days divided into 12 months, as listed in the table below. A leap day is added to February every four years. The Julian year is, therefore, on average 365.25 days long. It was intended to approximate the tropical (solar) year. Although Greek astronomers had known, at least since Hipparchus, a century before the Julian reform, that the tropical year was slightly shorter than 365.25 days, the calendar did not compensate for this difference. As a result, the calendar year gains about three days every four centuries compared to observed equinox times and the seasons. This discrepancy was corrected by the Gregorian reform of 1582. The Gregorian calendar has the same months and month lengths as the Julian calendar, but, in the Gregorian calendar, years evenly divisible by 100 are not leap years, except that years evenly divisible by 400 remain leap years.[3] Consequently—since 14 March 1900 Gregorian/1 March Julian and until 28 February 2100 Gregorian/15 February Julian—the Julian calendar is currently 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar.

  • A Proposed Chronology of the Judges Era
    A Proposed Chronology of the Judges Era Bruno Kolberg Abstract The judges were the pre-monarchic rulers in Israel. Dating the events of that era, though, is difficult. This is because the periods of oppression and rulership in the book of Judges, when added together, exceed the chronological space available by several decades. That space falls within the longer period of 1 Kings 6:1, which states that Solomon’s temple was founded in the 480th year after the Exodus. Because the time periods do not fit consecutively, those who accept the historical accuracy of both 1 Kings 6:1 and the judges era data conclude that overlapping oppressions and / or rulerships occurred. However, no consensus exists on which oppressors / rulers overlapped and by how much. A chronology of the era is there- fore considered by many to be unattainable. This study proposes a solution based on two guiding principles. First, the six cycles of oppression and deliverance that characterize the era follow consecutively without significant gaps (each cycle heroes a “major judge”). Second, the other leaders in those six cycles (the “minor judges,” Abimelech, Eli, and Samuel) all ruled during periods of oppression. The six cycles therefore fix the chronology of the era.

  • Tables of Reign Lengths from the Hebrew Court Records
    JETS 48/2 (June 2005) 225–48 TABLES OF REIGN LENGTHS FROM THE HEBREW COURT RECORDERS rodger c. young* i. understanding the tables The tables at the end of this article summarize the results of my previ- ous three papers dealing with the chronology of the kingdoms of Judah and Israel.1 These tables are meant to display the chronological data in a format that will make it easy for writers of Study Bibles or commentaries to incor- porate the reign lengths and starting and ending years of the kings into their texts. The present paper avoids the various calculations that derived these dates (those calculations were done in the earlier papers) and seeks to focus on how to use the tables, and also on their importance for our understanding of the Scriptures and the doctrine of inspiration. To use the tables, it may be helpful to review how the calendar of the Hebrews differs from our own. The Hebrew calendar was (and is) lunar- solar. Each month started with the new moon. Since twelve lunar months fall short of a full solar year, in some years a thirteenth month was added. In later years the formula was worked out with some exactitude as to when this should be done. The month that began near the spring equinox was called Nisan. The northern kingdom (Israel) considered the year to start in Nisan throughout its history, whereas for civil purposes Judah considered the year to start in the seventh month, Tishri, corresponding roughly to our October. The Scriptures often give the number of the month instead of the month’s name, and when this is done the numbering always starts from Nisan, in- dependently of whether the official year started in Nisan or Tishri.

  • Old Style and New Style Dates and the Change to the Gregorian Calendar: a Summary for Genealogists
    19/04/2019 GENUKI: Old Style and New Style Dates United Kingdom and Ireland Contents Old Style and New Style Dates and the change to the Gregorian Calendar: A summary for genealogists by Mike Spathaky All rights reserved. This article is copyright © Mike Spathaky 1995, 2006. No part of this publication may be reproduced, in any form or by any means, including electronic reproduction or reproduction via the Internet, without written permission from the author, Mike Spathaky. In your family history researches, if you come across a year written as 1840-45, you rightly interpret that as meaning "in the period from 1840 to 1845," the years being understood to be inclusive. If you see a date written as 2nd March 1735/6 you might think it means the year is uncertain even though the date is known. Wrong! This way of writing a date has a special meaning which all historians need to know about. This article explains how this apparent vagueness is actually a means of specifying a date with precision and without ambiguity, and why we need, not only to understand the notation used, but also to use it ourselves if we are to avoid being misunderstood. There are two elements of our modern calendar that were not always the same as they are now. One is the starting day of the year; the other is the rule for working out leap years. In England and her colonies both of these changed to our modern usage in 1752. But in other countries the two elements changed at different times.
