Biographical [edit]

Much of this page is copyvio of the Mactutor biography. http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Clavius.html This needs to be fixed. --Fastfission 04:39, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

  • I removed all of it, but now there are big gaps in his life. Somebody should fill them in when they get the chance. --Fastfission 04:41, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Explicatio [edit]

I think the Explicatio deserves a mention in the body, and its own entry in "External Links". And "See Also" should include Computus. 82.163.24.100 (talk) 21:29, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Early Life [edit]

See also in Augustus de Morgan's "A Budget of Paradoxes", reference to early interest in Calendar matters. May well be worth adding. 82.163.24.100 (talk) 22:32, --85.55.138.41 (talk) 10:07, 16 October 2011 (UTC)--85.55.138.41 (talk) 10:07, 16 October 2011 (UTC)--85.55.138.41 (talk) 10:07, 16 October 2011 (UTC)24 January 2009 (UTC)
