Merger

[edit]

I merged this article with Paschal full moon as they are the same subject. Paschal full moon was almost entirely historical background, moved mostly unchanged to the Easter tables section. It didn't have a good summary for understanding the basics, however, as the first part of an article (the summary) generally should be. It was also mostly untouched, as the material didn't really overlap, and the original of this page is mostly unedited in the top part of the article.

It would make sense to include the section on "Easter Tables" in the big Computus article as this is the only place in en.wikipedia where this expression is properly defined (it is freely used in many other articles but a concise definition like this is hard to come by). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.126.94.3 (talk) 08:21, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]


"determined from tables"

[edit]

The date of the PFM is defined in principle by Tables (at least, it is in the Calendar Act - I've not read that far in Clavius' Explicatio); but it does not need to be determined from them in practice, since the Tables can be reduced to much more compact and sufficiently simple expressions - see http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/estr-bcp.htm. 82.163.24.100 (talk) 14:31, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization

[edit]

In the dictionary, this is spelled as paschal full moon, and on the Wikipedia page for this, it is spelled as Paschal Full Moon. Why? 76.14.20.15 (talk) 11:02, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
