Review text

The authors present a list of methods used to compute the longitude and the long-term studies of the Earth rotation using the Moon. The list is completed with references to primary sources from XVIth to XXth centuries. The paper also contains a short account on the measurement of the difference in longitude between two places using solar eclipses.
