At the BSS meeting in Cambridge this spring. Frank King outlined the problems
assigning a unique date to a mark on a sundial. With our Gregorian calendar and
leap year cycle the date for any given solar declination can vary over four
and discovered a remarkable story, one that just
had to be told at the NASS Conference in Virginia, at the 400th
anniversary of the Jamestown colony of 1607. Fred Sawyer agreed to work
with me as co-author and to present at the conference the story of
God's Longitude and the Lost Colony
, at the 400th
anniversary of the Jamestown colony of 1607. Fred Sawyer agreed to
work with me as co-author and to present at the conference the story
of God's Longitude and the Lost Colony of Virginia. It is a great
story of the birth of science in Elizabethan England, the global
conflicts
did. This is clear in his writing.

Dear Roger,
God's Longitude is indeed a fascinating topic.
An intriguing side-issue is that an almost
arbitrary 33-year run of the Gregorian Calendar
shares an essential property of the Omar Khayyam
Calendar: the date of the Vernal Equinox (or
any other declination) is confined to a period
of 24

of Virginia. It is a great story of the birth of science in Elizabethan
England, the global conflicts of religion and empires and a secret agenda for
the English protestants to occupy the new world at longitude 77ºW, God's
Longitude.
