Þrimicemōnaþ (modern English: ''Three-Milkings Month'') was the Anglo-Saxon name for the month of May.〔Cockayne, Thomas. "The shrine: a collection of occasional papers on dry subjects" p.77〕 The name was recorded by the Venerable Bede in his work De Temporibus (On Time) in about 703, and was so named because cows could apparently be milked three times in one day during this month.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Anglo-Saxon Year )〕 According to Bede: ==See also== *Germanic calendar *Anglo-Saxon *Old English 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Þrimilcemōnaþ」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
