The pentecontad calendar (from πεντηκοντάς pentēkontás) is an agricultural calendar system thought to be of Amorite origin in which the year is broken down into seven periods of fifty days (a total of 350 days), with an annual supplement of fifteen or sixteen days. Identified and reconstructed by Julius and Hildegaard Lewy in the 1940s, the calendar's use dates back to at least the 3rd millennium BCE in western Mesopotamia and surrounding areas. Used well into the modern age, forms of it have been found in Nestorianism and among the Fellahin of modern Palestine.

- Il calendario pentecontale (da: πεντηκοντάς, pentēkontás = cinquanta in greco) è un calendario agricolo, che suddivide l'anno in 7 periodi di 50 giorni ciascuno seguiti da un periodo intercalare di 15/16 giorni. Ogni periodo di 50 giorni è composto da 7 settimane culminanti in un giorno, il cinquantesimo, di particolare significato agricolo. Lo schema è analogo a quello biblico, in cui la festa degli Azimi (raccolto dell'orzo) precede di 50 giorni la Pentecoste (raccolto del grano). (it)
