Rather than being an isolated, primitive body of knowledge the Jewish calendar tradition of 364 days constituted an integral part of the astronomical science of the ancient world. This traditiona "attested in the Dead Sea Scrolls and in the Pseudepigraphaa "stands out as a coherent, novel synthesis, representing the Jewish authorsa (TM) apocalyptic worldview.

Special attention is given to the a oeBook of Astronomya (1 Enoch 72-82) and a variety of calendrical and liturgical texts from Qumran.
