Year of birth

The case was heard on Monday, 17 January 1597, which is a Julian date. Some writers have wrongly dated it as 1598. As Derrick was 59 then, he was probably born in 1538. He would have been born in 1537 if his birthday was between 18 January and 24 March. BlackJack | ^{talk page} 18:41, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Image of Irelande, with a Discoverie of Woodkarne

Is this the same John Derrick(e) who wrote The Image of Irelande, with a Discoverie of Woodkarne? (See red link on that article.) --RA (talk) 00:54, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unknown. Right period but all we know of the Guildford Derrick is that he was a coroner. ----Jack | ^{talk page} 21:23, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Date math error?

"17 January 1597 (Julian date and thus 1598 by modern reckoning)"

This is surely not correct. At the time, the difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars was only ten days. It certainly wasn't 348 days. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.23.127.25 (talk) 09:04, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is correct. You're looking at it from the wrong angle. The year 1597, like all in the Julian calendar, was March to March. If the Gregorian calendar had been in use then, the year would have begun in January as it does now and it would have been 1598. Hope this helps.
