Oxford Almanack
The Oxford Almanack is an annual almanac published by the Oxford University Press for the University of Oxford since 1674.[1]
The Oxford University Press originally held a monopoly on publishing almanacs. The almanacs traditionally included engravings and information about Oxford University, including the Heads of Colleges and a university calendar. No almanack appeared in 1675, but it has been published annually since 1676.[1]
Engravers and artists have included James Basire, Michael Burghers, J.M.W. Turner, and John Piper.
