Product details
Styria possesses a treasure that no other country in Europe has. Nowhere else has a small calendar in book form, originally produced for illiterate people, survived almost unchanged to the present day since the middle of the 18th century. And for centuries it has also had its own name, namely "Der Mandlkalender". It was named after the "Mandln", the half-figures of male and female saints that form the continuous ¬round over the days of the month and weather signs. A hundred years ago, the poet Peter Rosegger, who came from the Waldheimat, praised it in his book about folk life in Styria and introduced it to audiences in the various neighbouring countries on his many lecture tours. In some houses, it used to be the only book that reached the householders, renewed every year.
Old farmer's calendar in book form with lot days, signs of the zodiac, farmer's rules, cultivation times and one page per week for daily notes.
