Description
Excerpt from Origines Kalendariæ Italicæ, Vol. 1 of 4: Nundinal Calendars of Ancient Italy, Nundinal Calendar of Romulus, Calendar of Numa Pompilius, Calendar of the Decemvirs, Irregular Roman Calendar and Julian Correction; Tables of the Roman Calendar, From U. C. 4 of Varro B. C. 750 to U. C. 1108 A. D. 355
It is manifest, under such circumstances, that whatsoever Corrections of the Primitive Calendar might be discoverable after a time in Magus Gracia, yet when traced up to their origin and referred to their proper class, they would be excluded from the scope and comprehension of inquiries, restricted to the indigenous Calendars of Italy. They could be regarded merely as branches of the Greek stock, trans planted to Italy; and not only as strange and exotic in that country, in comparison of those of native growth, and not only as later in point of date, but also as totally different from them in their nature and constitution. There was nothing in common between these Lunar Corrections of the Greeks of Italy and the Nundinal Corrections of the old Italians, except that each in their proper order of time were derived from the same Primitive original.
