This book (ISBN 9789090324678), available via this website, explains, by following the mainstream
of the history of the computus paschalis
developed from early in the third century for the purpose of determining
(Alexandrian or Julian calendar) dates of Paschal Sunday which rised shortly after AD 250 in Alexandria (Egypt) to
ultimately in AD 1582 (turning point in the history of chronology) flow
into a more realistic method for determining (Gregorian calendar) dates of
Easter, how at the time dates of Paschal Sunday depended on phases of the moon
and how recently both lost Metonic 19‑year
lunar cycles constructed in Alexandria before the council of Nicaea in AD 325 (turning point in the history of
Christianity) were reconstructed on the basis of NASA’s Six Millennium Catalog of Phases of the Moon.
