Nota Bene

  1. Gregorian calendar input before 15th October 1582 or after 30th January 4247 is not valid.  There was wide variation in the date of adoption of the Gregorian calendar.  For example, in Great Britain and colonies, the Julian date Wednesday 2nd September 1752 Old Style was followed the next day by the Gregorian date Thursday 14th September 1752.

  2. Julian calendar input before 1st March 4 or after 31st December 4246 is not valid.  The conversion assumes that Julian years began on 1st January, but in many countries this was not the case, with New Year's Day falling on some other date, so users should allow for this where necessary.  For example, in England the last day of 1750, Sunday 24th March 1750 Old Style was followed by the first day of 1751, Lady Day, Monday 25th March 1751 Old Style.
