Notes

START:[Shulman date p15] [Ussher date p19] END:The Flood began on the 17th day of the 2nd month during Noah's 600th year of life (GEN 7:11). Noah's birth date could have fallen on ANY date after that up to the 1st day of the 1st month the following year since the Flood ended in the 601st year of Noah's life (GEN 8:13). The water abated and the land was dry at the end of the second month (GEN 8:14). [Shulman date p15] [Ussher date p19]

Years are anno hominis — counted from Creation as year 1 — which is the frame the source computes in. The arithmetic behind each boundary is given above rather than assumed.
