- Description
- When read "astrolabically" rather than astrologically, the "chronographia" of ParsP is accurate and ripe with spiritual meaning. It was inspired by Dante's presentation of the stars in the "Divine Comedy" and indicates the imminence of Easter. Apparent inconsistencies between the "chronographiae" of GP and ParsP are due to modern misreading.
