in 1820 verscheen voor het eerst in de encyclopædia britannica het door johannes de sacrobosco in de wereld gebrachte fabeltje dat, omdat keizer augustus niet voor zijn voorganger wilde onderdoen, het aantal dagen van die maand van 30 op 31 werd gebracht (net zoveel als julius).

English

he then said augustus changed this, by taking one day from february to add it to sextilis, and then modifying the alternation of the following months, to::31, 28/29, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31so that the length of "augustus" (august) would not be shorter than (and therefore inferior to) the length of "iulius" (july), giving us the irregular month lengths which are still in use.
