Abstract	One of the principal aims of the Irish Foundation of Carolingian Europe (IFCE) project is to trace the spread of calendrical ideas from regions peripheral to the Carolingian Empire (Byzantium, Iberia, Ireland) within the Empire itself, thus uncovering networks of intellectual centres exchanging these ideas. In this panel, a new Object-Oriented database will be debuted, with an explanation of its pioneering methodology, followed by two case studies utilising this digital tool. The first case will cover the definition of Visigothic calendrical ideas and map their spread through Carolingian Europe. The second will follow the transmission and development of Easter tables in Carolingian manuscripts.
