Jaubert acknowledges that, just like the official calendar, this solar calendar falls short of the true solar year by 1 and 1/4 days each year. This discrepancy, negligible the first few years of use of the calendar, would become significant enough after a while to suggest that eventually, without intercalation, the Jubilees calendar would not be practicable, as the New Year would come early by 1 and 1/4 day each year, eventually setting the whole calendar out of line with the seasons. This clearly is not in keeping with Jubilees’ claim that Enoch was the first of mankind who were born on the earth who learned (the art of) writing, instruction, and wisdom and who wrote down in a book the signs of the sky in accord with the fixed pattern of their months so that mankind would know the seasons of the years according to the fixed patterns of each of their months.
The reconstruction of what Jaubert coined “the ancient priestly calendar,” her consideration of the Tuesday evening Last Supper tradition, and her proposed reconciliation of the Gospel accounts will be sketched out. In a second part the critics’ appraisal of the theory is presented, drawing out the main arguments that have been offered in support of and against it. At the outset, the question of calendrical knowledge of first century Judaea is identified as the main objection advanced against the Jaubertian theory.
