- [See comment for Ackermann 2004, cat. no. 35 (reg. no. 1938,0801.10):]
The calendar table follows the layout for an ordinary year in the Gregorian calendar with the Dominical Letter D. There are a few errors in the lunar table: Full Moon for January should read 13 (not 14); New Moon for February should read 27 (not 26); and New Moon for April should read 27 (not 26). Easter Term started 6 (not 7) May. An explanation of the calendrical and lunar tables and a key to the movable feasts, royal anniversaries, law terms, Golden Number and Epact are given [in Ackermann 2004] on pp. 6-13.
