Dionysius Exiguus, monk from Scithia composed, in mid-sixth century, a book on the Easter’s computus, intitled De Paschate, in which he presented the egyptian calendar and the ecclesiastical moon. De Paschate is the result of a translation of texts, paschal table and arguments manual about how to know the date of Easter Sunday. This book shows a kind of fusion between the neoplatonic epistemology and liturgical practices from Alexandria, Eastern Churches and Rome, as suggested in studies in History of Science. The main aspect that we consider to have influenced the Monk’s ecclesiastical computus knowledge was the ecclesiastical moon, that is the perfect moon, according to Platonic epistemology, and there was not on the Western Christianity’s tables. This dissertation shows evidence of these aspects of influences on computus paschalis of Dionysius Exiguus, by analyzing our own translation of De Paschate. This work intends to contribute to the studies on Dionysius and the computus paschalis in the field of the History of Science
