[Sca-cooks] The end of the 16th c.

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

Dudes and Dudettes:

The current millennium did not begin in 2000, that's the last year of 
the previous millennium. The current millennium began in 2001.

And 1600 is the 100th year of the 16th century. It is not the first 
year of the 17th. There was no year 0 - it went from 1 BCE to 1 CE. 
Decades and centuries start in year n01 or nn01. The 17th century 
begins with 1601.

We are not looking for pre-1600 stuff, we are looking for pre-1601 
stuff. Well, most of the time pre-1601, sometimes i guess perhaps 
pre-1651, since 1650 is the last year of the decade that began in 
1641.
