The Younger Eberhard Calendar is a small German parchment manuscript made in 1468 for Eberhard V, Count of Württemberg-Urach, later Duke Eberhard I. Conceived as a personal reference book, it brings together calendrical reckoning with astronomical and computistical information for organizing recurring cycles of days, months, and years. Its compact format and carefully arranged tables, signs, and colored decoration reflect the learned culture of Eberhard's court. The manuscript survives in the Württembergische Landesbibliothek and provides rare evidence of a late medieval ruler's practical engagement with timekeeping and astronomy.
