Comment
This metallic almanac is a good witness of its time with political, religious and agricultural references with the phases of the moon.In the amazing details we note all the numbers of the ecclesiastical count (see all the details at http://astronomia.fr/1ere_partie/calendrier/calendrier.php#comput) therefore all the calculations related to the Gregorian calendar. Its main purpose is the date of Easter, but it also includes the Sunday letter, the golden number, the solar cycle and the Roman indiction.
