Reference: fwiw/hth Reference information: Circa (from Latin, meaning 'around, about') - frequently abbreviated c., ca., or ca (and less frequently circ. or cca.) – signifies "approximately" in several European languages (and as a loanword in English), usually in reference to a date.[1] Circa is widely used in historical writing when the dates of events are not accurately known. Circa (del latín circa 'alrededor de')1 abreviada c., ca. o cca., significa «alrededor» o «cerca de».2 Se usa en la bibliografía científica para expresar que, aunque se carece de la certeza necesaria para proporcionar un valor único, existen otros datos fehacientes que permiten asegurar que el hecho o dato que se comunica en el texto se produjo en un momento —o tuvo un valor— anterior o posterior al que se cita en la escala de referencia utilizada, pero siempre relativamente cercano al que se transcribe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circa https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circa |
