This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory and Use of the Church Calendar in the Measurement and Distribution of Time: Being an Account of the Origin and Use of the Calendar, of Its Reformation From the Old to the New Style, and of Its Adaptation to the Use of the English Church by the British Parliament Under George the Second For these letters in our Calendar are clothed with remark able functions, and are made subservient to very various and important ends. The merchant refers to a card in his count ing-house in which they are made available for finding the day of the month; the historian uses them, in a different combination, in order to refer distant events to their proper years and to measure the intervals between them; and the antiquary by means of them fixes with precision the dates of events of which only a shadowy outline is given in the original records; none of them considering, some of them, perchance, not knowing, that for the ingenious artifices which they use, and which guide them with infallible certainty to the results which they seek, they are indebted to the first seven letters Of the alphabetfrais used in the Calendar throughout the year to designateff'the several days of the week; or rather to the fact that the Church takes these seven letters in their alphabetical order to be, what the proper names of the days are not, the invariable indices of the days of the year, and in their retrograde order to be the invariable indices of the. Years for all time past, present, and to come. But there is another fact yet more remarkable, viz., that the unanimity of almost all civilized nations, in Europe and America, in'following one and the same standard of time, has been brought about, not by the discoveries of modern science, but by the ingenious and patient labours of ecclesiastics who have, from age to age, watched over the Church Calendar, and sought to bring it as nearly as possible to a state of perfection.

Download or read book History as Prelude written by Joseph V. Montville and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays by seven highly respected scholars is a straightforward narrative of real world—intellectual, commercial, spiritual, philosophical, scientific, esthetic—creative engagement among Jews, Muslims, and some Christians in daily life in Spain and around the Mediterranean. History as Prelude is a major contribution to the Israeli-Arab peace process because it undermines—in fact, blows away—the efforts of propagandists who serve governments or political movements to negate the reality of the Arab-Jewish relationship in the medieval Mediterranean. The contributors, in unassuming, well-researched scholarship have erected a wall protecting historical reality from distortion, providing irrefutable—and often delightful—examples of creative coexistence.
Download or read book Bede The Reckoning of Tim written by Bede and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the patristic age until the Gregorian calendar reform of 1582, computus - the science of time reckoning and art of calendar construction - was a subject of intense concern to medieval people. Bede's The Reckoning of Time (De temporum ratione) was the first comprehensive treatise on this subject, and the model and reference for all subsequent teaching, discussion and criticism of the Christian calendar. The Reckoning of Time is a systematic exposition of the Julian solar calendar and the Paschal table of Dionysius Exiguus, with their related formulae for calculating dates. But it is more than a technical handbook. Bede sets calendar lore within a broad scientific framework and a coherent Christian concept of time, and incorporates themes as diverse as the theory of tides and the threat of chiliasm. This translation of the full text includes an extensive historical introduction and a chapter-by-chapter commentary. The Reckoning of Time also serves as an accessible introduction to

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you lie awake worrying about the overnight transition from December 31, 1 b.c., to January 1, a.d. 1 (there is no year zero), then you will enjoy Duncan Steel's Marking Time."--American Scientist "No book could serve as a better guide to the cumulative invention that defines the imaginary threshold to the new millennium."--Booklist A Fascinating March through History and the Evolution of the Modern-Day Calendar . . . In this vivid, fast-moving narrative, you'll discover the surprising story of how our modern calendar came about and how it has changed dramatically through the years. Acclaimed author Duncan Steel explores each major step in creating the current calendar along with the many different systems for defining the number of days in a week, the length of a month, and the number of days in a year. From the definition of the lunar month by Meton of Athens in 432 b.c. to the roles played by Julius Caesar, William the Conqueror, and Isaac Newton to present-day proposals to reform our calendar, this entertaining read also presents "timely" tidbits that will take you across the full span of recorded history. Find out how and why comets have been used as clocks, why there is no year zero between 1 b.c. and a.d. 1, and why for centuries Britain and its colonies rang in the New Year on March 25th. Marking Time will leave you with a sense of awe at the haphazard nature of our calendar's development. Once you've read this eye-opening book, you'll never look at the calendar the same way again.
