__NOTOC__
Year '''1518''' ('''[[Roman numerals|MDXVIII]]''') was a [[common year starting on Friday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. Within much of Christian Europe, [[New Year's Day]] was celebrated on January 1, the rule in the Roman Empire since 45 BC, and in 1518, the year ran from January 1, 1518 to December 31, 1518. In England (until 1752) and Scandinavia, the year ran from the [[Feast of the Annunciation]] (March 25, 1518) to March 24, 1519; and in France (funtil 1565) from [[Easter Sunday]] (April 4, 1518) to April 23, 1519. For instance, the will of [[Leonardo da Vinci]], drafted in [[Amboise]] on 23 April 1519, shows the legend "Given on the 23rd of April 1518, before Easter".<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=ozIoAQAAIAAJ&q=last+will+and+testament+leonardo+da+vinci+abril+1519 The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci, Oxford University Press, 1980, p.391]</ref>* See Wikisource "[[wikisource:1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Easter|1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Easter]]".
