-But if you look up the birthday of Leonardo da Vinci, you better use the European calendar `EC` and not the Common calendar `CE.` This time, the `EC`-date and the `JD`-date are the same, and this is correct. But the Gregorian calendar misses Leonardo's birthday by nine days! This error occurs because the Gregorian calendar extrapolates the date backward from 1582, ignoring the historical course. That is why this calendar is called 'proleptic.' (But even that is not correct: `proleptic` refers to the future; it would be better to call it `preleptic.`)
