Table for the Conversion of Persian Dates into
Gregorian Dates
The table mainly consists of three columns in which the
Gregorian dates of the first day of each Persian month are given for the
several possibilities of Gregorian and Persian normal and leap years
falling on each other. The difference between the Gregorian and Persian
number of the year is shown in the last column, that difference being
621 for the months from Farvardin to Dey and 622 for the last two months
of the Persian year, Bahman and Esfand.
To convert a Persian date into a Gregorian one first
find the column in which the Persian number of the year is to be found.
On top of that column find the Gregorian date of the first day of the
Persian month which the date to be converted is in. Increase the year
number by the number shown in the last column of the row of the Persian
month.
Example
What is the Gregorian date of 10 Tir 1385 (Persian)? The
number 1385 is to be found in the middle column of the table. In the
upper part of that column we find 1 Tir = 22 June. The number of the
Gregorian year is 1385 + 621 = 2006.
