In On Time, Punctuality and Discipline in Early Modern Calvinism,
Max Engammare explores how the sixteenth-century Protestant
reformers of Geneva, France, London, and Bern internalized a new
concept of time. Applying a moral and spiritual code to the course
of the day, they regulated their relationship with time, which was,
in essence, a new relationship with God. As Calvin constantly
reminded his followers, God watches his faithful every minute. Come
Judgement Day, the faithful in turn will have to account for each
minute. Engammare argues that the inhabitants of Calvin's Geneva
invented the new habit of being on time, a practice unknown in
antiquity. It was also fundamentally different from notions of time
in the monastic world of the medieval period and unknown to
contemporaries such as Erasmus, Vives, the early Jesuits, Rabelais,
Ronsard, or Montaigne. Engammare shows that punctuality did not
proceed from technical innovation. Rather, punctuality was above
all a spiritual, social, and disciplinary virtue.
