The section deals with the methods of calculating the Hebrew calendar used by various Jewish sects throughout history. According to the author, this passage is related to R. Saʿadya Gaon’s “Book of Distinction” (Kitāb al-tamyīz) and includes entire passages from his commentary on Genesis. The article provides the missing part of the Nemoy edition, as well as a critical edition and an English translation of an excerpt that deals with the calendars of various streams in Judaism.
