Alle Thyng Hath Tyme : Time and Medieval Life Hardback
by Gillian Adler, Paul Strohm
Part of the Medieval Lives series
Hardback
Description
Alle Thyng Hath Tyme recreates medieval people's experience of time: as continuous and discontinuous, linear and cyclical, embracing Creation and Judgement, shrinking to 'atoms' or 'droplets' and extending to the silent spaces of eternity.
They might measure 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 was making time-reckoning more precise.
Negotiating these mixed and competing systems, medieval people gained a nuanced and expansive sense of time that rewards attention today.
