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.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
