 Epact - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Despite the statement in the second canon of the Gregorian reform quoted above, the epacts in this calendar can no longer be interpreted as days.
It may be argued that Lilius applied the "solar equations" in order to bring the lunar calendar back in sync with the original Julian calendar; the "lunar equations" would then make a long-term correction to the approximate Metonic relation between the Julian year and the mean lunation.
The designer (Aloysius Lilius) broke the pure Metonic relation when allowing centennial corrections of the epacts by one unit:

 Calendar History
First, in order to bring the vernal equinox back to March 21, the day following the Feast of St.Francis (that is, October 5) was to become October 15, thus omitting ten days.
It was Lilius who had proposed a more accurate system based on one that had already been in use unofficially while the Julian calendar was still in force.
Correction required a solution, however, that neither Paul III nor his successors were able to obtain in satisfactory from until nearly 1572, the year of election of Pope Gregory XIII.

 Calendars as seen in Roman or Old and New Style dates
The reformers also instituted January 1 as the beginning of the new year as in Roman times, but they did this for religious reasons.
The reform, especially regarding its lunar aspects, was the work of Aloysius Lilius, who was a physician at the University of Perugia, and, in its solar aspects, of the German Jesuit mathematician Christopher Clavius, who incorporated Lilius’ work into the calendar reform.
The calendar reform finally promoted by Pope Gregory XIII on February 24, 1582, in his bull Inter Gravissimas rested on Nicolaus Copernicus’ new mathematical calculation of the motions of the heavenly bodies.

The present Gregorian calendar, which is solar based, came into being in March of 1582 -- when Pope Gregory issued a brief in which he abolished the use of the ancient Julian calendar and replaced it with what became known as the Gregorian or New Style Calendar.
The originator of the system adopted by Pope Gregory was Aloysius Lilius, or Luigi Lilio Ghiraldi, a learned astronomer and physician of Naples; but the individual who contributed the most toward giving the ecclesiastical calendar its present form was a man by the name of Clavius.
He was charged with all the calculations necessary for its verification, and published in 1603 a great folio treatise of 800 pages explaining the new calendar's development.

 Gregorian calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lilius originally proposed that the ten-day correction should be implemented by deleting the Julian leap day on each of its ten occurrences during a period of 40 years, thereby providing for a gradual return of the equinox to 21 March.
It proposed a ten-day correction to revert the drift since Nicaea and the imposition of a leap day in only 97 years in 400 rather than in 1 year in 4.
Although 1581 is often attributed to the use of years beginning on 25 March by the papacy, other contemporaneous papal bulls have years that do not agree with March years, let alone years since a pope was named or other types of years.)

This method uses the epact to estimate the age of the new moon, and the dominical letter to determine the day of the week.
In the Sixteenth Century, Aloysius Lilius, the author of the Gregorian Calendar, developed a method of calculating Easter which does not depend on the actual moon phases.
This may be easier to remember than the formula for epact but often led to disagreement back when the date of the new or full moon was frequently determined by the highly scientific approach of looking at it.
