	Millenniumvergissing
		Daar waar Dionysius Exiguus uitsluitend een kolom van met elkaar in verband staande afzonderlijke “aantallen” epacts (zoals “12 epacts” en “geen epacts”) ziet, is het ons gemoderniseerde brein dat een wiskundige structuur, een rij van (abstracte) niet negatieve gehele getallen meent te zien.
		Dionysius Exiguus’ “nulla” in zijn kolommen van epacts staat voor “geen epacts” (hetgeen neerkomt op ‘niets’), niet voor het getal nul.
		Het ontbreken van een jaar nul aan onze jaartelling is dus allerminst een fout van Dionysius Exiguus en zijn navolgers; het is zuiver en alleen een voorwaarde waaraan onze jaartelling moet voldoen om haar tweezijdige symmetrie te kunnen behouden.

	Dionysius Exiguus - Netencyclo, Nederlandstalige Encyclopedie : Dionysius Exiguus
		In Dionysiusâ paastabel zijn de kalenderjaren (zie kolom A van Dionysius' tabel) genummerd niet volgens de jaartelling van keizer Diocletianus, zoals in de aan Kyrillos toegeschreven paastabel nog wel het geval was, maar volgens zijn nieuwe Anno Domini jaartelling, die bedoeld was te zijn begonnen met Jezusâ incarnatie.
		Dionysius Exiguus presenteerde zijn paastabel (die betrekking heeft op de jaren 532 tot en met 626) in of kort voor het jaar 526 aan officiÃ«le vertegenwoordigers van paus Johannes I, helaas zonder onmiddellijk succes.
		Er is echter niets waaruit we zouden kunnen afleiden dat zijn 'nulla' een echte 'nul' was (hij gebruikte het in elk geval niet in zijn berekeningen).

	Dionysius Exiguus
		Dionysius is most well known as the inventor of the Anno Domini era, which is used to number the years of both the Gregorian calendar and the Julian calendar.
		In 525, Dionysius prepared a table of the future dates of Easter and a set of "arguments" explaining their calculation on his own initiative, not at the request of Pope John.
		In either case, Dionysius' method had actually been used by the Church of Alexandria (but not by the Church of Rome) at least as early as 311, and probably began during the first decade of the fourth century, its dates naturally being given in the Alexandrian calendar.

	Dionysius Exiguus - Ökumenisches Heiligenlexikon
		The surname EXIGUUS, or "The Little", adopted probably in self-deprecation and not because he was small of stature; flourished in the earlier part of the sixth century, dying before the year 544.
		Of great importance were the contributions of Dionysius to the science of canon law, the first beginnings of which in Western Christendom were due to him.
		Dionysius also gave attention to the calculation of Easter, which so greatly occupied the early Church.

		In addition, Dionysius proposed to base the year numbering from the incarnation of Jesus Christ instead of from the accession of Roman Emperor Diocletian (September 29, 284), as was the custom since the council of Nicea (325).
		Dionysius calculated Christ's incarnation as March 753 AUC and his birth as December 25, 754 ab urbe condita (from the founding of Rome).
		Dionysius Exiguus apparently proposed his year numbering system in a letter to a Bishop Petronius.

	Dionysius Exiguus
		Cassiodorus, however, calls him simply "monk", while Bede calls him "abbot." But as it was not unusual to apply the latter term to distinguished monks who were not heads of their houses, it is uncertain whether Dionysius was abbot in fact or only by courtesy.
		Dionysius did good service to his contemporaries by his translations of many Greek works into Latin; and by these translations some works, the originals of which have perished, have been handed down to us.
		His friend Cassiodorus depicts in glowing terms the character of Dionysius as a saintly ascetic, and praises his wisdom and simplicity, his accomplishments and his lowly-mindedness, his power of eloquent speech and his capacity of silence.

		Dionysius, however, was a product of the age he lived in and bestowed on future centuries two major errors that befuddle celebrants who were preparing for 2000.
		First, Dionysius paid no heed to the biblical account that Jesus was born during the reign of King of Herod.

	Millennium Mistake
		Dionysius Exiguus (see section 2) obtained his Easter table (which concerns the years 532 up to and including 626) by extrapolation from the Easter table attributed to Kyrillos.
		Dionysius Exiguus’ “nulla” and Beda Venerabilis’ “nullae” in their columns of epacts are typical examples of precursors of the number zero, they stand for “no epacts”, which boils down to ‘nothing’, which term is, in contrast to the number zero, no mathematical concept.
		Dionysius Exiguus did not worry about that, because he did not at all need those nonpositive numbers for the setting up of his incomplete era (which actually was used by him only for the benefit of his easter table), and Beda Venerabilis too could manage very well without these numbers.

	SPACE-TALK - Why we have noe year 2001?
		Dionysius Exiguus in his " LIBER DE PASCHATE " indicates, he made a new calculation of the Easter data.
		According to Dionysius Exiguus, the cycle created by Cyrill ended in the Diokletian Year 247 (531CE) Dionysius Exiguus synchronized the subsequent year with of his new 532 year lasting lunisolar Easter cycle and so created a new yearly counting.
		It is maintained that Dionysius Exiguus, by incorporating these three factors, precalculated the planet conjunction of May 2000 with the help of planet boards and determined the year 1 A.D. exactly 1999 years before it and thus linked "Platonic Year" with "Greatest Year".

	General History: BCE and CE
		As Dionysius explained to Petronius, he did not wish to continue the memory of a tyrant who persecuted Christians, and instead he proposed to number years from the incarnation of Jesus Christ, starting his new 95-year table with the year 532.
		However, Dionysius used a modified version of the Alexandrian method, and does not mention Victorius or the 532-year cycle.
		However it is not clear where Dionysius puts the beginning of the year: besides January 1, also March 1, Christmas day (December 25), Easter day, and the date of the vernal equinox (March 21 or even March 25) are "styles" that have been used at one time.
