Abstract
The article offers a study of the known Coptic calendars with favorable and unfavorable days, entitled hemerologies, and compares the given information with the information presented in earlier calendars from Egypt and Mycenaean Greece and also with later sources written in Arabic and Latin. The starting point of this study is Pap. Heidelberg Inv. Kopt. 236, a newly edited Coptic hemerology which forms the second oldest example of this type known so far. In comparison, the material clearly shows that predictions for certain days are not necessarily results of direct influences and can be seen as examples of cultural convergences.
