The Oxford Almanack is an annual almanac published by the Oxford University Press for the University of Oxford since 1674.
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.
Engravers and artists have included James Basire, Michael Burghers, J.M.W. Turner, and John Piper.
Famous quotes containing the word oxford:
“I wonder anybody does anything at Oxford but dream and remember, the place is so beautiful. One almost expects the people to sing instead of speaking. It is all ... like an opera.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
