Dionysian PERIOD, or Victorian Period, a system of 532 lune-solar and Julian years; which being elapsed, the characters of the moon fall again upon the same day and feria, and revolve in the same order, according to the opinion of the ancients.
This period is otherwise called the great paschal cycle, because the Christian church first used it to find the true time of the pascha or easter. The sum of these years arises by multiplying together the cycles of the sun and moon.
