Talk:Heribert Illig/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The entry for Illig is entirely one-sided. No evidence FOR Illig's thesis is presented or even mentioned, and the impression given that such evidence does not exist. Also, it is stated that the Julian calendar was somehow "updated" at the Council of Nicea and that it was this updated "Julian" calendar that the Gregorian reform was intended to correct. Yet there is no evidence for this whatsoever. It is merely assumed to be the case, since the number of days' error corrected by the Gregorian reform is otherwise inexplicable. In short, it is an entirely circular argument.
