Some sources attribute fine tuning to succeeding centuries through to the tenth, but I haven't seen anything mentioning developments continuing into the 12th.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

Originally posted by Terraceth View PostWell, I tried doing some extra research, then eventually just sort of thought "well, it's not that important" and opted to quit. But from what I read, it seems that Maimonides may not have adjusted the calculations so much as being the one who wrote them all down in the Mishneh Torah and thereby finalized them. But in regards to Hillell II, that story may very well be a myth, with there being no reference to it in the Talmud and the first reference to him doing so coming about 600 years after the fact; it seems that whenever the calculations were finalized, it was at some point after Hillel II. Some information concerning that can be found here:
