Dating notes from the research record
Read the governing thirteenth-year opening in yuan009.wikitext line 9 and the second-month entry at line 11. calendar_headers and lines 31–32 of sinica-1275-12-31.html place 1275-12-31 in Zhiyuan 12, month 12, day 13; sinica-1276-12-31.html place 1276-12-31 in Zhiyuan 13, month 11, day 25. Zhiyuan 13 month 2 therefore falls within Julian AD 1276; no exact Julian day is asserted. Original quotation begins at line 11, character 2143.
File names and line numbers in these notes, and in the limits above, refer to the project’s retained copies of the cited sources. Names such as calendar_headers are the project’s calendar look-ups, and “the investigator” is the research step that prepared the record.
