I looked up the reference to Gregorius (1582). You can find it, in Latin,
via Google.

the bottom of the wikipedia page points to a doc made for ISO
to accompany ISO 8601 in English and French, and another besides that
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter_gravissimas

This reference is a tribute to Peter Bunclark

I believe it was Arnold Rots who inserted that reference.
