Merry Xmas to all

Ja.. , ja... , I think also. But there is really a problem with a missed
year 0, as I can remember (to a paper, not to year 0). May be the chronicles
addresses a squence of years as follows:  -.., -2, -1, +1, +2, +..,  et
cetera, but no "0"

"uno anno prior millenium nova" - oder so ähnlich!
