This is a technical scholarly reference giving the actual algorithms and rules for converting dates among the world's calendar systems, including Gregorian, Hebrew, Islamic, Hindu, Chinese, Baha'i and other religious and civil calendars, and its standing rests on those algorithms being checkable and reproducible rather than on any claim about calendars' religious meaning. Use it for calendrical conversion and the technical mechanics of how a specific calendar system actually works; it is explicitly not a source on the religious meaning of a date or festival, a distinction the book itself maintains, so a claim about why a date matters religiously needs a source addressing that tradition's own account of the observance.
