Sēo Gregorisce gerīmbōc is sēo gerīmbōc, þe man nū brȳcþ in þǣre Westernan worulde. A modification of the Julian calendar, it was first proposed by Neapolitan doctor Aloysius Lilius, and promulgated by the eponymous Pope Gregory XIII on February 24, 1582 (Note: The document was dated 1581 as the year was at that time taken to commence in March).

Sēo Gregorisce gerīmbōc was devised because the mean year in the Julian Calendar was a little too long, causing the Vernal equinox to slowly drift earlier in the calendar year.
