Events past herald those forthcoming in the new. Edinburgh LoFi\u2019s exhibition \u2013 Almanac \u2013\nuses traditional, alternative and lomographic photographic processes to record the\nweather, tides, star paths, seasonal events of the past calendar and personal journeys.\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The word almanac may derive from a Greek word meaning calendar, the Coptic Egyptian astrological charts were purported to be called almenichiak\u00e1 in antiquity. The earliest documented use of the word is in Latin by Roger Bacon in 1267, where it meant a set of tables detailing movements of heavenly bodies including the moon. The word has no etymon in Arabic but indirect circumstantial evidence points to a Spanish Arabic al-man\u0101kh, it would have been prestigious to attach an Arabic appellation to a set of astronomical tables at that time. Also called hemerologies, parapegmata, ephemerides, zijs and tables – the almanac has a facinating history and continues to find new forms to this day, such as the GPS almanac.
