Abstract
: The structure and termini of the 84-year Paschal table with a 14-year saltus followed by the early mediaeval churches of Britain and Ireland remained a matter of conjecture until 1985, when Dáibhí Ó Cróinín identified a full copy of the table in MS Padua, Biblioteca Antoniana, I.27. This paper undertakes a detailed analysis of the Padua table and demonstrates that its achievement of Anatolius’ Paschal termini of luna 14–20 between 26 March and 23 April resulted from Sulpicius Severus’ skilful exploitation of the synchronism between his 14-year saltus and the 28-year solar cycle.

期刊介绍:
Peritia is an international peer-reviewed journal published by Brepols with a focus on Insular culture from Late Antiquity to the later Middle Ages. Within those parameters we welcome submissions from all cognate disciplines. The journal has published ground-breaking articles in archaeology, computistics, hagiography, history, law, literature and music. While Peritia enjoys a core strength in early medieval Ireland, this has never been exclusivist; other areas of research, related to the Insular world and its connections to the wider early medieval West are well-represented.
