Calculation of Easter and the Moveable Feasts by Primes. Added by a later hand. Cf. Wells Rev. 10:3771–2 [73, 74] which notes several verse texts which calculate the date of Easter. Ed. (from this MS) by Means, ‘Computus’ pp. 611–2, who notes that the text appears to be closely translated from a set of Latin instructions on this topic found in several MSS, e.g. Oxf. Univ Col MS 179 f. 97v.
