contents: Office almanacs, primarily used by merchants and retailers, had blanc spaces for writing notes and were therefore the predecessors of the modern diaries. Nevertheless, most notes in the almanacs that have survived seem to have been made by chance or at random. There is by no means a relationship with the calendar. In the almanac shown here from the wine seller Isaak Pool notes have been made for March 1671 relating to a death in March 1674. The period of use of an almanac was therefore longer than just one year.
