We had some discussions re calendar algorithms a while back. My son gave me a 300 page book, Calendrical Calculations which gives lisp functions and English Algorithms: "We give a unified algorithmic presentation for 14 calendars of current and historical interest: Gregorian (current civil), OSO, Julian (old civil), Coptic, Ethiopic, Islamic (Moslem), modern Persian, Bahaii, Hebrew (Jewish), Mayan, French Revolutionary, Chinese, old Hindu, modern Hindu.

This site gives much of the book info and links to oodles of other calendar sites. It is: Bye, Art Arthur P. Adamson, The Engine Man, euclid at isoc.net
