ABOUT ECLIPSES, MENTIONED IN PASCHALE CAMPANUM

In Morozov in (1) on str.326 there is information in chapetr I-IX about eclipse, mentioned in Paschale Campanum (2), (3, � 67):

"485. In this year in July calends (1 July) has occurred the eclipse of sun".

Realize double checking with Krasilinikov's canon help: on eclipses 1July and on eclipses, taken place in 485.

In year 485 no observable eclipses was not. If go on way most interquartile ranges on calendar from mentioned date, that we shall face on eclipse 29 June 512, partial in italian Rome and nearly full in Constantinopol.

Apropos, exactly eclipse 29 June 512 mentioned in Paschale Campanum once again, as follows (1, 327, in section I-XI):

"512. This year III July calends (29 June) sun has suffered the eclipse".

Thence conclusion about complex origin of this source.
