The parse-dateTime function will parse dates before the start of the gregorian
calendar, but it won’t really be a gDate. For instance:
xdmp:parse-dateTime('[D1] [MN] [Y001]', '15 OCTOBER 1582') -
xs:dayTimeDuration("P1D")
returns 1582-10-14, but officially there was a jump from oct 4 on the Julian
calendar to oct 15 on the Gregorian calendar.
Cheers,

That is the start of the Gregorian calendar:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1582
You can't use Gregorian calendar based functionality to handle dates before
that calendar began. If this is really a requirement, you'll probably know
enough about older calendars to write your own date handling routines.

Hi everyone,
The docs says that xdmp:parse-dateTime will not return the correct dateTime
value for dates before October 15, 1582. What should I use for dates before
October 15, 1582?
