A fact from Solar eclipse of May 1, 1185 appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 19 April 2015 ( check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that the solar eclipse of 1 May 1185 gave rise to the first known description of flame-like tongues of live embers? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2015/April.

The Laurentinian codex is quoted by "On the first day of the month of May, on the day of the Saint Prophet Jeremiah, on Wednesday[...]" which would perfectly fit the eclipse in Gregorian time. In Julian calendar (which I think was in place in the 1185 Rus), it should have been April 24th. Can anyone clarify on that? Is the codex quoted in a translated and date-transduced edition? -- 178.12.116.78 ( talk) 20:10, 14 September 2016 (UTC) reply
