Dove, A new almanack, 1631 (A2v-A3r)

This almanac shows a typical combination of information: dates of the month, the dominical number, saints days and other festivals, the positions of various astrological features, and space for the user to write their own notes. But this almanac is atypical in that it survived—huge numbers of almanacs were printed, particularly in the 17th century, but most were discarded at the end of the year and lost to posterity.
