[QUOTE="Paul W, post: 4529866, member: 77343"]I picked up some old French natural history books, published somewhere between the 1600s and 1800s, but they are dated with some weird Roman numerals, such as "AN XIV" Any idea what the "AN" means?? There are other very similar editions of these "Histoire Naturelle" books that have standard Roman numeral dates, many on eBay, but none of them are dated like mine. I have nine volumes.
