Review text

The Easter date repeats more or less exactly in 19-year cycles with respect to the spring equinox. The basic Easter Tables were constructed in the 3rd century A. D. and reproduced with modifications over centuries both on the continent and in Ireland. The author reconstructs and compares their numerical data in detail.
