The Almanaque
The Almanaque, or almanac, is a reference book published annually that provides a diverse array of information such as weather forecasts, tidal schedules, astronomical data (like moon phases and eclipses), astronomical and weather predictions, as well as practical advice on farming, gardening, and daily living. It serves as a valuable resource for farmers, sailors, and the general public, helping them plan activities based on natural and seasonal patterns. Historically, almanacs combined scientific data with folklore and predictions, offering both practical guidance and cultural insights for readers.
