Depending on the underlying arithmetical calendar type
this should return either Sha'ban 17, 1429 or Sha'ban 18, 1429
or Sha'ban 19, 1429

See  http://www.phys.uu.nl/~vgent/islam/islam_tabcal.htm

Is the library able to handle different intercalary schemes?

Whats the license of the code? Found no info on Squeaksource about that.

Thx

Hi.

The conversions between calendars are based on the algorithms
explained in the book Calendrical Calculations (this
http://emr.cs.iit.edu/home/reingold/calendar-book/second-edition/) and
the Islamic Calendar modeled were the arithmetic one.

With intercalary schemes you refer to leap years?.... the model
intercalate days or months when the year is leap.

The model is provided AS-IS, under the MIT license.

Maxi.
