Hebrew date ?




Dear Ex-Librians,

I'm working on a hebrew work by Jacobo Abendana published in
Amsterdam in 1660. On the titlepage it reads:

Amstelaedami (=Amsterdam)
Anno a Mundo condito, 5421

Can anyone explain this ? Is the year maybe a hebrew notation ?
And if so, how do I calculate this date ??


Thanks,


Cor Knops.
