Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of a specific set of tables used by chronologists to accurately calculate lunar and solar time. The author provides a thorough explanation of the tables' structure, divisions, and details, situating them within the broader context of chronological history. Exploring the administration and details of the perpetual lunar calendar embedded within the tables, the book compares it to notable lunar calendars from antiquity and examines its historical uses, including its impact on paschal controversies, its role in dating classical history, and its relevance to eclipses of the sun or moon. Emphasizing the importance of the tables for historians of various periods, the author brings clarity to the complex relationship between the solar cycle and the tables' Dominical Letter, clarifying why the Dominical Letter follows a retrograde order. An exploration of the concurrents and regulars prevalent in former times provides evidence for understanding the true solar cycle of annual mundane time, while a supplementary table of lunar elements of the Phoenix period demonstrates the tables' range and versatility. The author concludes by discussing examples of using the tables to calculate solar and lunar ingresses, new and full moons, and the correction of mean motion in longitude to the tables of mean sidereal time. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the precise calculation of lunar and solar time and its applications in a variety of fields.
