- Perhaps the article you want is "Calendrical Calculations", by N.Dershowitz
- and E.M.Reingold, in Volume 20 Issue No. 9, September 1990, pp.899-928.
- Summary: A unified, algorithmic presentation is given for the Gregorian
- (current civil), ISO, Julian (old civil), Islamic (Moslem), and Hebrew
- (Jewish) calendars. Easy conversion among these calendars is a byproduct
- of the approach, as is the determination of secular and religious holidays.
-
- I would suggest you check your local college/university libraries, before/
- in parallel with talking to the publisher.
