THERMIDOR (from Gr. BEprt, heat, and & pov, gift)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 804 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
THERMIDOR (from Gr. BEprt, heat, and & pov, gift) , the name given during the
French
  Revolution to the eleventh month of the year in the Republican Calendar. The month
fell
  in the hottest season of the year, beginning on the loth or 2oth of July and ending on the 18th or loth of August, according to the year. As in all the other months of the Republican Calendar, each of the days of Thermidor was, in accordance with the
suggestion
  of Eabre d'
Eglantine
 , consecrated to some useful
object
 . Thus 1 Thermidor was consecrated to spelt, to Thermidor to the watering-pot, 15 Thermidor to sheep, and 27 Thermidor to lentils. The most important event that took
place
  in this month was the revolution of q Thermidor year II. (27th of July 1794), which resulted in the fall of Robespierre and the collapse of the Terror. The name Thermidorian (Thermidorien) was given to the authors of this revolution and to the supporters of the reactionary
movement
  of which it was the
signal
 .
