Astronomical Kalendar, an instrument engraved upon copper-plates, printed on paper, and pasted on board, with a brass slider which carries a hair, and shews by inspection the sun's meridian altitude, right ascension, declination, rising, setting, amplitude, &c. to a greater exactness than our common globes will shew.

Kalendar of Prisoners. See Calendar.

Kalendar-Brothers, a sort of devout fraternities, composed of ecclesiastics as well as lay-men; whose chief business was to procure masses to be said, and alms distributed, for the souls of such members as were deceased. They were also denominated calend-brothers, because they usually met on the kalends of each month, though in some places only once a-quarter.
