The Kalender of Shepherdes

[1] was an incunable[1] almanac first published in the 1490s in Paris as the Compost et Kalendrier de Bergiers.

[2] The first English edition was a poor translation into a Scots dialect, published in 1503,[3] but Richard Pynson released an improved translation in 1506 and Wynkyn de Worde produced another in 1508.

It continued to be reprinted throughout the 16th Century[4] There are several different topics covered in different versions of the Kalender; the exact contents vary between editions.

[3] They include poetry, health advice, astrological information, calendars, and religious instructions.
