This book presents an extensive exploration of the history of timekeeping, examining both technical and conceptual aspects from the viewpoint of antique chronography. This discipline is considered from its origins to the middle ages, with a particular focus on the works of ancient Christian chronographers such as Eusebius of Ceasarea and George Syncellus. Chronography, as practiced by them, was embedded in broader historical traditions and philosophies of time, many of which were challenged by the rise of Christianity. The author sheds light on the sophistication and diversity of pre-medieval computations of time, while also demonstrating how they intersected with debates on biblical interpretation and theology. Engaging with the content of this book enhances our understanding not only of how our ancestors measured the passage of time, but also how they conceived of their position within the unfolding of history.
