kendoui DateTimePicker minimum date 0001-01-01

Question

I would like to set the minimum date of a kendoui DateTimePicker to 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z. I use the following piece of code:

<input id="datetimepicker" />

<script>
    $("#datetimepicker").kendoDateTimePicker({
      min: new Date("0001-01-01T00:00:00Z")
    });
</script>

Unfortunately the calendar doesn't show dates before 01/01/1901. If I set the minimum to new Date("0100-01-01T00:00:00Z"), the calendar shows date from the year 100 (as expected).

How can I get the calendar to show dates from 0001-01-01?
