Anno Mundi
Anno Mundi (Latin: "year of the world") - according to the Jewish calendar, the date of the calendar age calculated from the creation of the world. Judaisms
Years in the Jewish calendar are counted from the creation of the world. The system currently used is based on calculations in the Seder Olam Rabbah written by rabbi Jose ben Halaft about 160 years ago. According to these calculations, the world was created in 3761 BC. Jewish year 2014 and 2015 n.e. has 5775 in the Jewish calendar. Other calculations
The term Anno Mundi was used by early Christian historians. Beda Venerable dated the creation on March 18, 3952 BC. The Irish Chronicle of the Four Masters is about 5194 BC.
In the Byzantine calendar there is a comparable concept of Etos Kosmou, which places the creation of the world on September 1, 5509, p.n.e.
James Ussher in 1654 dated the creation on October 23, 4004 of p.n.e.
Other related expressions are Anno Lucis in Freemasonry, which adds 4,000 years to the date of the n.e., and the Julian Date - the number of days since noon, January 1st, 4713 p.n.e.
The date derived from the Roman Martyrologium is March 25, 5199, p.n.e., which is a close date from the Irish Chronicle listed above.
