Re: Military time (whoops!)



And double whoops.
Dionysius Exiguus, who set the date of Christ's
birth at 752 AUC.
Apparently not. My sources differ, but the piece on
Dionysius in the (old; 1912) Catholic Encyclopedia says
he set the Incarnation at ante deim viii kalendis
Apriles [sc. March 25] AUC 754. I got 752 from a
transcription of a transcription (and cannot find the
original transcription) so it might be my transcription
error, or two medieval monks' disagreeing.
