:::I still like the calendar page shown which is about the same as the full 31 October days with 5 to 14 October rossed out with a felt pen which wasn't available then. Neither did they know the word 'proleptic'. However, it's a pity that they (well, Gregor) dropped my birthday :-( --[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] 19:21, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
:::: Felt pen was, of course, no good because days of the week would have been wrong. Better: Snowpake and correct the numbers on the days! --[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] 09:26, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
:::: You were born in 1752? Sheesh, you're almost as old as dirt. Aside from that, Pope Gregory XIII (and his [or a] scientific advisor and primary author of the reformed calendar: Aloysius Lilius, AKA: Luigi Lilio, or Liuigi Giglio, or Aluise Baldassar Lilio) didn't know about the word ''preleptic'', but it was proclaimed (via a ''papal bull'') that the reformed calendar was as if it was in effect (back) to January 1st, year 1. Note that the reformed calendar (later called the Gregorian calendar) was made effective the 24th of February in 1582 for the Catholic clergy, and it furthermore exhorted Catholic sovereigns to adopt the reformed calendar. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 20:29, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
