Riassunto:

Primitive Time-Reckoning: A Study In The Origins And First Development Of The Art Of Counting Time Among The Primitive And Early Culture Peoples is a book written by Martin Persson Nilsson in 1920. The book is a comprehensive study of the evolution of time reckoning among primitive and early culture peoples. The author explores the origins of counting time and how it evolved over time. The book is divided into several chapters, each dedicated to a specific aspect of time reckoning, such as the lunar calendar, solar calendar, and the use of astronomical observations. Nilsson also discusses the symbolic and religious significance of time, and how it was used in various cultural practices. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of timekeeping and the development of human civilization. It is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both scholars and general readers.
