This book traces the development of the Jewish calendar from its origin until it reached, in the tenth century CE, its present form. It draws on a wide range of sources - literary, documentary and epigraphic; Jewish, Graeco-Roman and Christian. The unification of the calendar is seen as an element in the unification of Jewish identity.
