Estilo Antigo e Estilo Novo

Estilo Antigo (em inglês: Old Style, abreviado O.S.) e Estilo Novo (em inglês: New Style, abreviado N.S.) indicam sistemas de datação anterior e posterior a uma mudança de calendário, respectivamente. Comumente, refere-se à mudança do calendário juliano para o calendário gregoriano, conforme promulgado em vários países europeus entre 1582 e o século XX.

Na Inglaterra, País de Gales, Irlanda e colônias americanas da Grã-Bretanha, houve duas mudanças de calendário, ambas em 1752. A primeira ajustou o início de um novo ano do Lady Day (25 de março) para 1.º de janeiro (o que a Escócia havia feito a partir de 1600), enquanto a segunda descartou o calendário juliano em favor do calendário gregoriano, removendo 11 dias do calendário de setembro de 1752 para fazê-lo.^[2]^[3] Para acomodar as duas mudanças de calendário, os escritores usaram a datação dupla para identificar um determinado dia, dando sua data de acordo com os dois estilos de datação.

Para países como a Rússia, onde não houve ajuste de início de ano, O.S. e N.S. simplesmente indicam os sistemas de datação juliano e gregoriano. Muitos países ortodoxos orientais continuam a usar o calendário juliano mais antigo para fins religiosos.

↑ Spathaky, Mike Old Style and New Style Dates and the change to the Gregorian Calendar. "Before 1752, parish registers, in addition to a new year heading after 24th March showing, for example '1733', had another heading at the end of the following December indicating '1733/4'. This showed where the Historical Year 1734 started even though the Civil Year 1733 continued until 24th March. ... We as historians have no excuse for creating ambiguity and must keep to the notation described above in one of its forms. It is no good writing simply 20th January 1745, for a reader is left wondering whether we have used the Civil or the Historical Year. The date should either be written 20th January 1745 OS (if indeed it was Old Style) or as 20th January 1745/6. The hyphen (1745-6) is best avoided as it can be interpreted as indicating a period of time."
