(on the basis of NASA’s Six Millennium Catalog of Phases of the Moon)

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.
