A look at the competing notions of time in the middle ages, from
the spiritual - death, the Last Judgement - to the practical -
lawyers' calculations, clocks and calendars. By exploring some of
the more important senses of time which were in circulation in the
medieval world, scholars from a wide range of disciplines trace
competing definitions and modes of temporality in the middle ages,
explainingtheir influence upon life and culture. The issues
explored include anachronism as a feature in earlier senses of
time, perceptions of death and of the Last Judgement, time in
literary narratives and in music, constructions of timeas used in
the professions, and original work on the particular systems and
technologies which were used for the keeping of time, such as
clocks and calendars. Contributors: PAUL BRAND, PETER BURKE, MARY
J. CARRUTHERS, DEBORAH DELIYANNIS, CHRISTOPHER HUMPHREY, ROBERT
