------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Feb 12 09:42:55 -0800 2005 ------- 1. I am well aware of the problems that arise from calculating Hijra-dates. 2. I do not think that there is any problem with dates before 1582-10-15, as far as you use this date and no other as was done in most protastant countries. 3. Pointers: I. http://www.oriold.unizh.ch//static/hegira.html. II. Nachum Dershowitz and Edward M. Reingold,Calendrical Calculations,in: Software-Practice and Experience, Vol 20(9)(1999), pp. 899-928. http://emr.cs.iit.edu/home/reingold/calendar-book/papers/calendar.ps (both yield the same values). 4. The start of the Hijra calendar should be 622-7-16, and no other date. 5. Orientalists are using the table by WÃstenfeld, Mahler: "Vergleichungs-Tabellen" (Wiesbaden, 1961). Paragraph 3 (both algorithms) and 4 yield the same values. This should be so, since the table by WÃstenfeld was just counted. If your program should calculate according to actual moon sighting, I can't add anything. As far as the Hebrew calander is concerned, I never experienced a problem and in reality. The fact that the Muslim/Jewish day starts at sunset does not make up for the 1-day difference. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
