First edition. Ideler devoted his life chiefly to the examination of ancient systems of chronology. In 1825-1826 he published his great work, Handbuch der mathematischen und technischen Chronologie (2 vols.; 2nd ed., 1883). A supplementary volume, Die Zeitrechnung der Chinesen, appeared in 1839. His researches into the construction of the calendars used by all the different nations of antiquity, have opened up a mine of useful information. His Lehrbuch der Chronologie, published in 1831, is a smaller handbook upon the same subject.
