Calendar and Community: A History of the Jewish Calendar, 2nd Century BCE to 10th Century CE
Stern, Sacha (, Senior Lecturer and Head of Department, The London School of Jewish Studies)
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.
