拜占庭歷
拜占庭歷是一套拜占庭(東羅馬)帝國與東正教會歷史上使用過的曆法,歷史上被稱作「自創世以來的羅馬年(古希臘語:Ἔτη Γενέσεως Κόσμου κατὰ Ῥωμαίους)[1]」或「創世年(古希臘語:Ἔτος Κτίσεως Κόσμου)」或「世界年(古希臘語:Ἔτος Κόσμου)」。東正教的普世牧首轄區於約公元691年至1728年[2],拜占庭帝國官方於988年-1453年,羅斯諸國於約988年-約1700年使用這套曆法,其他受拜占庭影響較大的國家,如塞爾維亞、保加利亞歷史上也曾使用這種曆法。
這套曆法與儒略曆基本相同,主要區別有兩點,一是以每年9月1日為新年第一天,紀年法則採用世界紀元,即以上帝創世的第一天為紀年之始。拜占庭宗教界以《舊約聖經》七十士譯本中的記載為基礎推算的上帝創世之年相當於公元前5509年,拜占庭歷的第一年為前5509年9月1日-前5508年8月31日。
