Unlike the later one called "editio princeps" by Pope Gregory XIII, while this one was - my benefactor spoke - ”secundum usum Romane curie,” it was not promulgated over either the Church Universal or even all of the Latin Church.

One Joannes Baptista Sollerius who lived later attributed this one to Bellini, and he also claimed - as already stated and quoted - that the Christmas martyrology did not have the LXX based chronology in any manuscripts (of Usuardus), but that these came with "the edition of Bellini".

Anyway, this means that the chronology was already present during the council of Trent, with Troy, whether it was Gregory XIII or Benedict XIV who took Troy away./HGL
