The main task of the study is to present the computational tools used by Durandus. The time of his scientific activity falls on the early period of computation development, and individual computists based their work on various elements of the computus, referring to Dionysius, Isidore of Seville, Bede the Venerable or Alexander of Villedieu (d. 1240). The aim of this study is also to analyse and diagnose the Durandus calculation algorithm and its originality in the computistic matter. Durandus’ study refers to the works of earlier commputists, and its originality lies in the selection of content. Some chronological issues are presented extensively (such as a 19-year cycle or months). Others, however, are only signalled in his work (such as the issue of concurrents or claves terminorum, which needed to be developed in the content of the article). The concise concept of the ecclesiastical computus contained in the Rationale divinorum officiorum refers in its content to the findings of the computists of the Roman calculation of Easter. His treatise, although setting out the rules of conduct in liturgical matters, strengthens and popularizes the Roman system of Paschal calculus adopted from its predecessors, and also defines the Church computus as an important element of the functioning of canon law.

Zasadniczym zadaniem opracowania jest przedstawienie narzędzi komputystycznych, którymi posługiwał się Durandus. Czas jego aktywności naukowej przypada na wczesny okres rozwoju komputystyki, kiedy poszczególni komputyści opierali swoje prace na różnych elementach komputu, odwołując się do Dionizego Małego, Izydora z Sewilli, Bedy Czcigodnego czy Aleksandra z Villa Dei. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest również analiza i diagnoza algorytmu rachuby Durandusa oraz jego oryginalności w materii komputystycznej. Opracowanie Durandusa nawiązuje do ujęć wcześniejszych komputystów, a jego oryginalność polega na doborze treści. Niektóre zagadnienia chronologiczne prezentuje obszernie (jak cykl 19-letni czy miesiące). Inne natomiast tylko sygnalizuje (jak zagadnienie konkurent czy claves terminorum, które wymagały rozwinięcia w treści artykułu). Zwięzła koncepcja komputu kościelnego zawarta w Rationale divinorum officiorum nawiązuje w treści do ustaleń komputystów rzymskiej rachuby Wielkanocy. Jego traktat, mimo że określający zasady postępowania w kwestiach liturgicznych, ugruntowuje i upowszechnia przejęty od poprzedników rzymski system rachuby paschalnej, a także definiuje komput kościelny jako istotny element funkcjonowania prawa kanonicznego.

In the year 2002 Milewski published an article devoted to the current state of research concerning Augustine’s Commentary on the Gospel of John where, among other topics, he reports on the state of research in the chronology of this work by Augustine, and after a brief summary of the latest solutions proposed by prominent Augustinian scholars he concludes that the history of the Tractates’ composition calls for a careful appreciation of their development and appearance over the course of Augustine’s busy episcopate and in relation to his other pastoral endeavours. This study therefore serves as the point of departure for our present article in which we would like to contribute to the recently proposed solution to certain questions related to the chronology of the two series of Augustine’s homilies, i.e. Tractatus in Iohannis Evangelium 1-16 and Enarrationes in Psalmos 119-133, especially in those points where the present solutions appear to be rather vague. Hence, our analysis concerns primarily the division of Tractates 1-12 and 13-16 made by Le Landais, and consequently accepted by all later scholars. Moreover, it focuses on some key points of the chronology: the dating of Tractate 7 at a pagan festival, the so-called dies sanguinis, proposed by La Bonnardière, then the synchronization of Tractates 1-16 with the parallel series of Enarrationes in Psalmos 119-133, and, finally, the re-evaluation of the year of the delivery of both series of homilies, dated between the years 406/407 or 407/408. Our argumentation is based, first and foremost, on the principle similar topic means similar liturgical time thanks to which we can place Tractates 10-12 of the Commentary on John’s Gospel right before the beginning of the Lenten season. Consequently, it enables us to include Tractates 13-16 in Augustine’s preaching activity during the Lenten season until as late as the beginning of the Easter Octave. In addition, if we admit that Tractate 7 was not delivered on the so-called dies sanguinis feast related to the rites of Cybele and Attis but on the occassion of another unknown local festival of an aitiological myth in Hippo Regius, we do not need to place it on the 24th of March as La Bonnardière did. Finally, these findings help us outline the new synchronized chronology of the two series of Augustine’s exegetical homilies for both the years 406/407 and 407/408.
