Be not ignorant of this, however, that those four
determining periods,1192
which we have mentioned, although they are approximated to the Kalends
of the following months, yet hold each the middle of a
season, viz., of
spring and
summer, and
autumn and
winter. And the beginnings of
the
seasons are not to be
fixed at that point at which the Kalends of
the month begin. But each
season is to be begun in such way that
the equinox divides the
season of spring from its first day; and the
season of summer is divided by the eighth day before the Kalends of
July, and that of autumn by the eighth before the Kalends of October,
and that of winter by the eighth before the Kalends of January in like
manner.
