<h2 id="day-name-table">Day name table</h2> <p>Like all FRC months Messidor lasted 30 days and was divided into three 10-day weeks called <i>décades</i> (decades). Every day had the name of an agricultural plant, except the 5th (Quintidi) and 10th day (Decadi) of every decade, which had the name of a domestic animal (Quintidi) or an agricultural tool (Decadi). </p> <table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td colspan="2">1re Décade</td><td colspan="2">2e Décade</td><td colspan="2">3e Décade</td></tr><tr><td>Primidi</td><td>1.</td><td>Seigle (Rye)</td><td>11.</td><td>Coriandre (Coriander)</td><td>21.</td><td>Menthe (Mint)</td></tr><tr><td>Duodi</td><td>2.</td><td>Avoine (Oats)</td><td>12.</td><td>Artichaut (Artichoke)</td><td>22.</td><td>Cumin (Caraway)</td></tr><tr><td>Tridi</td><td>3.</td><td>Oignon (Onion)</td><td>13.</td><td>Giroflée (Clove)</td><td>23.</td><td>Haricot (Bean)</td></tr><tr><td>Quartidi</td><td>4.</td><td>Véronique (Speedwell)</td><td>14.</td><td>Lavande (Lavender)</td><td>24.</td><td>Orcanète (Alkanet)</td></tr><tr><td>Quintidi</td><td> 5.</td><td>Mulet (Mule)</td><td>15.</td><td>Chamois (Chamois)</td><td>25.</td><td>Pintade (Guinea fowl)</td></tr><tr><td>Sextidi</td><td>6.</td><td>Romarin (Rosemary)</td><td>16.</td><td>Tabac (Tobacco)</td><td>26.</td><td>Sauge (Sage)</td></tr><tr><td>Septidi</td><td>7.</td><td>Concombre (Cucumber)</td><td>17.</td><td>Groseille (Currant)</td><td>27.</td><td>Aïl (Garlic)</td></tr><tr><td>Octidi</td><td>8.</td><td>Échalotte (Shallot)</td><td>18.</td><td>Cesse (Vetchling)</td><td>28.</td><td>Vesce (Vetch)</td></tr><tr><td>Nonidi</td><td>9.</td><td>Absynthe (Wormwood)</td><td>19.</td><td>Cerise (Cherry)</td><td>29.</td><td>Blé (Wheat)</td></tr><tr><td>Decadi</td><td>10.</td><td>Faucille (Sickle)</td><td>20.</td><td>Parc (Fold)</td><td>30.</td><td>Chalémie (Shawm)</td></tr></tbody></table> <h2 id="conversion-table">Conversion table</h2> <table><tbody><tr><th>Table for conversion between Republican and Gregorian Calendar for the month "Messidor"</th></tr><tr><td><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="30"><table><tbody><tr><td>I.</td><td>II.</td><td>III.</td><td>IV.</td><td>V.</td><td>VI.</td><td>VII.</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>4</td><td>5</td><td>6</td><td>7</td><td>8</td><td>9</td><td>10</td><td>11</td><td>12</td><td>13</td><td>14</td><td>15</td><td>16</td><td>17</td><td>18</td><td>19</td><td>20</td><td>21</td><td>22</td><td>23</td><td>24</td><td>25</td><td>26</td><td>27</td><td>28</td><td>29</td><td>30</td></tr><tr><td>19</td><td>20</td><td>21</td><td>22</td><td>23</td><td>24</td><td>25</td><td>26</td><td>27</td><td>28</td><td>29</td><td>30</td><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>4</td><td>5</td><td>6</td><td>7</td><td>8</td><td>9</td><td>10</td><td>11</td><td>12</td><td>13</td><td>14</td><td>15</td><td>16</td><td>17</td><td>18</td></tr><tr><td colspan="30"><table><tbody><tr><td>June</td><td>1793</td><td>1794</td><td>1795</td><td>1796</td><td>1797</td><td>1798</td><td>1799</td><td>July</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr><td><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="30"><table><tbody><tr><td>VIII.</td><td>IX.</td><td>X.</td><td>XI.</td><td>XII.</td><td>XIII.</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>4</td><td>5</td><td>6</td><td>7</td><td>8</td><td>9</td><td>10</td><td>11</td><td>12</td><td>13</td><td>14</td><td>15</td><td>16</td><td>17</td><td>18</td><td>19</td><td>20</td><td>21</td><td>22</td><td>23</td><td>24</td><td>25</td><td>26</td><td>27</td><td>28</td><td>29</td><td>30</td></tr><tr><td>20</td><td>21</td><td>22</td><td>23</td><td>24</td><td>25</td><td>26</td><td>27</td><td>28</td><td>29</td><td>30</td><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>4</td><td>5</td><td>6</td><td>7</td><td>8</td><td>9</td><td>10</td><td>11</td><td>12</td><td>13</td><td>14</td><td>15</td><td>16</td><td>17</td><td>18</td><td>19</td></tr><tr><td colspan="30"><table><tbody><tr><td>June</td><td>1800</td><td>1801</td><td>1802</td><td>1803</td><td>1804</td><td>1805</td><td>July</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table> <h2 id="external-links">External links</h2> <ul><li><a href="http://www.textesrares.com/revol/revo0ca4.jpg">Summer Quarter of Year II (facsimile)</a></li></ul>
