Q: Can I safely delete duplicate calendars?
A multiplicity of calendars has been created by an unknown force
resulting in event notifications cascading down the R side of my
screen. Each calendar seems to have the same info and only one
is activated in Prefs. Deleting one (Control-click on it) takes a full
minute - there isn't any other obvious way to delete. What's the
root cause of their creation? Thank, Tom

Move the Calendars folder from your Users/Home/Library folder to the Desktop. Go into Time Machine and go back far enough so that you should not have all of the duplicates. Restore that version and see where you are.
Another approach is if the checked calendars in the screenshot are all you need export them to the Desktop. After moving the Calendar folder to the Desktop, reboot, launch Calendar and import those two calendars. See if if you just get one copy of each and it stays that way.
