²On 9 Apr 1794, Philibert Buchot (b. 1748 -
d. 1812), acting for Herman, chaired the last official meeting of the Provisional
Executive Council.
³The term prime minister (premier ministre)
was only introduced in the constitution of the "Fifth Republic" that went
into effect 8 Jan 1959. Previously the principal minister was called
Président du Conseil des Ministres although (a) there was no
such position mentioned in the constitution, and (b) the formal Conseil
des Ministres was (as it continues to be) chaired by the president
of the republic, the Président du Conseil chairing only the
(technically informal) Conseil de cabinet.
About the French Revolutionary Calendar:
The French Republican calendar was imposed on France by Law on 5 Oct 1793.
Dates were calculated from the Autumn Equinox. 22 Sep 1792, which
became the first day of An I ("Year 1"). The standard year was split
into 12 thirty day months with five (or six) additional days (depending
on leap years). The thirty day months were named by the distinguished poet
Fabre d'Eglantine, each month having its own appropriate symbolism,
three months were assigned to each season:
The autumn months were named Vendémiaire
("month of vintage"), Brumaire ("month of fog, mist"), and Frimaire
("month of frost"); the winter months, Nivose ("month of snow"),
Pluviose
("month of rain"), and Ventose ("month of wind"); the spring months,
Germinal
("month of seed, budding"), Floréal ("month of blossoms"),
and Prairial ("month of meadow"); and the summer months, Messidor("month
of harvest"), Thermidor ("month of heat"), and Fructidor
("month of fruits"). Each of these months was subdivided into three décades
of ten days: Primidi, Duodi, Tridi, Quartidi, Qunintidi, Sextidi, Septidi,
Octidi, Nonidi, and Decadi the day of rest.
The five (or six) days remaining at the end of the
year were designated national holidays or san culottides: jour
de la vertu ("virtue day"), jour du génie ("genius day"),
jour
du labour ("labor day"), jour da la raison ("reason day"), jour
de la récompense ("reward day"), and jour de la révolution
("revolution day") on leap years.
For obvious reasons, the calendar was unwieldy, impractical,
and unpopular. Reforms were proposed, but instead Napoleon ordered the
reintroduction of the traditional Gregorian calendar on 1 Jan 1806, thus
condemning to death the Revolutionary calendar on 10 Nivose XIV.
