England's First Almanac.

The first almanac printed in England was the “Kalendar of Shepardes,” which appeared 1 n 1497, just 40 years after Gutenberg printed his first almanac at Mentz. From that time on-, ward almanacs were numerous, “omens and prognostications” being addled in most cases to the calendar information. One of the earliest specimens preserved enjoys the title of “The Prognostycacyon of Master John Tubault’ of the influence of the moon of peas and warre and of slknesses of the yere, with the constellacions that be under kynges and princes.” —London Mirror.
