Medieval people measured time by natural phenomena such as sunrise and sunset, the motion of the stars, or the progress of the seasons, even as the late-medieval invention of the mechanical clock made time-reckoning more precise. Negotiating these mixed and competing systems, Gillian Adler and Paul Strohm show how medieval people gained a nuanced and expansive sense of time that rewards attention today.Medieval lives (Reaktion Books (Firm))TimePsychological aspectsHistoryTo 1500Time perceptionHistoryTo 1500Civilization, MedievalEuropesocial life and customsTo 1500TimePsychological aspectsHistoryTime perceptionHistoryCivilization, Medieval.Adler Gillian1645632Strohm Paul1938-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910861065403321Alle thyng hath tyme4167132UNINA
