IDELER, LUDWIG. _Handbuch der mathematischen und technischen
Chronologie._ 8vo. 2 vols. Berlin, 1825-26. [Ideler was Royal Astronomer
and Professor in the University of Berlin. His discussion of the Easter
cycles cannot be dispensed with. This and his account of the computation
of time in the Christian Church will be found in Vol. 2 (pp. 175-470).
The Gregorian reform is well dealt with.]
KELLNER, K. A. HEINRICH. _Heortology: a history of the Christian
Festivals from their origin to the present day._ Translated from the
second German edition. 8vo. London, 1908. [Dr Kellner is Professor of
Catholic Theology in the University of Bonn. An interesting and useful
volume, though occasionally exhibiting, as is not unnatural, marked
ecclesiastical predilections. It contains prefixed a useful bibliography.]
LIETZMANN, H. _Die drei ältesten Martyrologien._ E. tr. 8vo. Cambridge,
1904. [This little pamphlet of 16 pages exhibits conveniently the
texts of (1) what is variously known as the Bucherian, or Liberian,
or Philocalian Martyrology, (2) The Martyrology of Carthage, and (3)
Wright’s Syrian Martyrology.]
MACLEAN, ARTHUR JOHN (Bishop of Moray). The article ‘Calendar,
the Christian’ in Hastings’ _Dictionary of Christ and the Gospels_
[admirable, generally, for the early period.]
MACLEAN, ARTHUR JOHN (Bishop of Moray). _East Syrian Daily Offices._
London, 8vo., 1894. [An appendix deals with the Kalendar of the modern
Nestorians (Assyrian Christians).]
NEALE, JOHN MASON. _A History of the Holy Eastern Church. General
Introduction._ London, 8vo., 1850. [Vol. II. gives information at
considerable length on the Kalendars of the Byzantine, Russian, Armenian,
and Ethiopic Churches.]
NILLES, NICOLAUS. _Kalendarium Manuale utriusque Ecclesiae Orientalis et
Occidentalis, academiis clericorum accommodatum._ 2 tom. 8vo. Oeniponte,
1896, 1897. [N. Nilles, S.J., Professor in the University of Innsbruck,
deals mainly in these volumes with the ecclesiastical year in Eastern
Churches.]
QUENTIN, HENRI. _Les Martyrologes historiques du moyen age, étude sur la
formation du Martyrologe romain._ 8vo. Paris, 1907.
SAXONY, MAXIMILIAN, PRINCE OF. _Praelectiones de Liturgiis Orientalibus._
Tom. I. 8vo. Friburgi Brisgoviae, 1908. [This volume is mainly concerned
with the Kalendars and Liturgical Year of the Greek and Slavonic
Churches. It is lucid and interesting.]
SEABURY, SAMUEL, D.D. _The Theory and Use of the Church Calendar in the
measurement and distribution of Time; being an account of the origin and
use of the Calendar; of its reformation from the Old to the New Style;
and of its adaptation to the use of the English Church by the British
Parliament under George II._ 8vo. New York, 1872. [Excellent on the
restricted subject with which it deals. It does not deal with Christian
Festivals beyond the question of the determination of Easter, but is
largely concerned with matters of technical chronology, the ancient
cycles, golden numbers, epacts, etc.]
