A search in Alsatian biographies does not confirm this hypothesis; William Henry Black described the manuscript "Computus manualis"in the Ashmolean Library from the 14th century but the incipit implies that the work existed about a century before that)

    • Editorial Notes

      • [D.E. Smith in 1908 erroneously stated Anianus was active in the 15th century, in 1928, he revised his findings and placed Anianus being active after the first half of the 13th century before 1314)]
