- Dear Nigel
-
- Dr Danny A A Fagandini (Dulwich) has sent me a file with some 'old'
- Easter dates. I include it on this disc. Data from Danny has always
- been most reliable. He always checks one source against a second
- independent source before publishing data.
-
- The dates he gives are based on the Julian calendar up to the 1582 and
- on the Gregorian calendar after that year so the algorithms which I
- sent you gives different dates between 1582 and 1752 from those
- supplied by Danny. The crucial question to answer for years between
- 1582 and 1752 is "In order to preserve the simultaneous celebration of
- Easter in countries having the (new) Gregorian calendar and those
- retaining the (old) Julian calendar, did the date of Easter fall
- outside the usual limits (ie earlier than the 20th March) in those
- countries retaining the Julian calendar?"

- Yours sincerely
