	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Aloisius Lilius
		Aloisius Lilius, principal author of the Gregorian Calendar, was a native of Cirò or Zirò in Calabria.
		The statement in Poggendorff's "Handwörterbuch", that Lilius was a physician in Rome and that he died in 1576, is apparently not supported by recent researches.
		Lilius considered fractions of centuries unfit for all cyclic or non- astronomical reckoning and used centurial corrections for both solar and lunar motions.

		Als eigentliche Erfinder des neuen Kalenders gelten der italienische Astronom Luigi Lilio (latinisiert Aloysius Lilius) und der in Bamberg geborene Mathematiker Christophorus Clavius.

		Lilius rechnete nun aus, dass in plus-minus 134 Jahren das Frühlingsäquinoktium um einen vollen Tag seine Lage ändert und dass somit in 400 Jahren drei Schalttage ausfallen müssten.

		His main advisors were Aloysius Lilius, who died early in the reform process but whose plan was represented by his brother Antonio, and Christopher Clavius, who expanded Lilius' plans into an 800 page volume.
		In addition to modifying the average length of the year, thus stabilizing the date of the vernal equinox, the key feature of the Lilius/Clavius plan was a scheme to settle the date of Easter in a manner that was irrefutably superior.
		Despite their best efforts, Lilius and Clavius were unable to do so perfectly, and Easter and Passover coincide from time to time (most recently in 1981, with the next occurrence in 2123).

		Lilius originally proposed that the ten-day correction should be implemented by deleting the Julian leap day on each of its ten occurrences during a period of 40 years, thereby providing for a gradual return of the equinox to 21 March.
