Baraita On The Mystery Of The Calculation Of The Calendar

From Jewish Encyclopedia (1906)

Baraita On The Mystery Of The Calculation Of The Calendar ( ):

A Baraita cited in the Talmud (R. H. 20 b ). Since special care was taken to keep it secret, it has not been preserved; but it is probable that the Baraita of Samuel incorporated a considerable portion of it. The Talmud citation from this Baraita has completely puzzled the commentators, as well as modern students of the Jewish calendar; and despite many attempts to explain it, it remains obscure. Compare Calendar .
