Popis: The article describes a little-known version of the Hebrew calendar of the “solar” type, which is attested in the chronicle of George Syncellus (circa AD 810) as one of the three main calendars of the world (along with Roman and Alexandrian). The analysis of the structure shows that the calendar is an attempt to adapt to the Julian year of the specific Jewish calendar with 364 days (equal number of weeks) in a year known from the so called 1st Book of Enoch. “Jewish” names of the months are close to those in the Chronicon Paschale (hardly known to George), that suggests a common source of both chronicles.
