Egyptian days

Late 14th-century Calendarium Parisiense. Egyptian days are marked dies eger.

During the Middle Ages in Europe, Egyptian days (Latin: dies Ægyptiaci) were certain days of the year held to be unlucky. The Egyptian days were:

  • January 1, 25
  • February 4, 26
  • March 1, 28
  • April 10, 20
  • May 3, 25
  • June 10, 16
  • July 13, 22
  • August 1, 30
  • September 3, 21
  • October 3, 22
  • November 5, 28
  • December 7, 22

These were days considered unlucky to begin any enterprise. Physicians were especially discouraged from performing bloodletting on the Egyptian days.[1][2]
