Vend'emiaire
(gcide) | Vend'emiaire \Ven`d['e]`miaire"\, n. [F., fr. L. vindemia
vintage.]
The first month of the French republican calendar, dating
from September 22, 1792.
[1913 Webster]
Note: This calendar was substituted for the ordinary
calendar, dating from the Christian era, by a decree of
the National Convention in 1793. The 22d of September,
1792, which had been fixed upon as the day of the
foundation of the republic, was also the date of the
new calendar. In this calendar, the year, which began
at midnight of the day of the autumnal equinox, was
divided into twelve months of thirty days, with five
additional days for festivals, and every fourth year
six. Each month was divided into three decades of ten
days each, the week being abolished. The names of the
months in their order were, Vend['e]miaire, Brumaire,
Frimaire Nivose, Pluviose, Ventose, Germinal,
Flor['e]al, Prairial, Messidor, Thermidor (sometimes
called Fervidor), and Fructidor. This calendar was
abolished December 31, 1805, and the ordinary one
restored January 1, 1806.
