	Islamic calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Islamic calendar or Muslim calendar (also called 'Hijri calendar') is the calendar used to date events in predominantly Muslim countries, and used by Muslims everywhere to determine the proper day on which to celebrate Muslim holy days.
		Islamic years are also called Hijra years because the first year was the year during which the Hijra occurred— Muhammad 's emigration from Mecca to Medina.
		The predecessor to the Islamic calendar was a lunisolar calendar in that it used lunar months but was also kept synchronized with the seasons by the insertion of an additional, intercalary, month when required.

	Tabular Islamic calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tabular Islamic Calendar (also called the Fatimid Calendar) is a rule-based variation of the Islamic Calendar.
		It was developed by early Muslim astronomers of the second hijra century (the eighth century of the common era) to provide a predictable time base for calculating the positions of the moon, sun, and planets.
		The Tabular Islamic calendar also deviates from the observation based calendar in the short term for various reasons.

	The Islamic and Secular Calandars of the Great Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Jamahiriya solar calendar is thus similar to the many other solar calendars that have been used in Muslim communities since the early days of Islam for planning seasonal activities such as agriculture and tax-collecting that depend on the annual rhythm of the Sun.
		A consequence of this peculiar mode of year reckoning in the Jamahiriya calendars is that the date of the death of the prophet Muhammad occurs both in the Jamahiriya lunar year 0 AJ as in the Jamahiriya solar year –42 DP.

		While most lunar calendars are observation-based (especially the Islamic Calendar), I am curious about what rule-based lunar calendars are or have been in use.
		I know that such calendars can not predict the exact day of a new moon or an eclipse without becoming excessively complicated.
		This is because of eccentricity of the moon's orbit round the earth and the earth's orbit around the sun.

		Peter Meyer sent me the results and I saw that all the cycles listed could be constructed by variations of my Yerm Calendar, where each yerm has 17 or 15 months alternating between 30 and 29 days, so that the first and last month have 30 days.
		This forms the tabular Islamic calendar in which months are worked out by rules rather than by the first visible crescent.
		The 40-yerm cycle would be a good adjustment of my Yerm calendar for the year 3000 CE.
