Reconstructing Metonic 19‑year Lunar Cycles
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 modern way of determining (Gregorian calendar) dates of
Easter, how of old dates of Paschal Sunday depend on phases of the moon and, on
the basis of NASA’s Six Millennium Catalog of Phases
of the Moon, how recently both lost Metonic 19‑year
lunar cycles constructed in Alexandria before the first council of Nicaea (in AD 325, turning point in the history of
Christianity) were reconstructed.
