AnnOMaly :: Thank you for typing out that PD list, Alleymom. The later lists give the same pattern.
Yes. The later lists in PD go up to 75 CE, and there is not one instance where Nisan 1 falls on a date in May. (Incidentally, as you may have noticed, although PD gives the dates as reckoned from midnight to midnight, I used the date from the previous day, since the Babylonian day, like the Jewish day, started at sunset.)
Marjorie: (There are other places in his charts where he has sloppy errors. For instance, on page 318 he gives Sabatu 1, 587 as 2/22. But on the next page, he has Sabatu 6, 587 as 2/26.)
AnnOMaly :: You will have seen, too, that there are dozens in that appendix section alone. And we haven't even begun on the ones in the main chapters or other appendices! If amateurs can spot so many problems, I dread to think what any expert will find.
Yes, there are numerous examples of simple errors in the charts. Just to spell this out for lurkers, I am talking about simple mistakes such as the one I mentioned above, from p. 318 and p.319:
If Sabatu 1, 587 = Feb. 22 (as Furuli says on p. 318)
then Sabutu 2 = Feb. 23
Sabutu 3 = Feb. 24
Sabatu 4 = Feb. 25
Sabatu 5 = Feb. 26
and Sabatu 6 = Feb. 27.
But on p. 319, Furuli says Sabatu 6 = Feb. 26.
There are lots of these errors. The charts are hopelessly confused.
