And another very good source is the work of Nachum Dershowitz and
Edward M. Reingold. They have written a book which is probably the
single best place to go for a wide variety of calendars and
algorithms. There are also two papers:

* ``Calendrical Calculations'', Dershowitz, N. & Reingold, E. M. 1990
  Software-Practice and Experience 20 899 

* ``Calendrical Calculations, II: Three Historical Calendars'',
  Reingold, E. M., Dershowitz, N., & Clamen, Stewart, M. 1993
  Software-Practice and Experience 23 383. 

You can find those papers on Edward M. Reingold web site
(http://emr.cs.uiuc.edu/~reingold/calendars.shtml).
