Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the common religious festivals and holidays observed in medieval England, focusing on the calculation of the dates of these events and the complicated methods used to determine the date for Easter, which was the center of the medieval Christian calendar. The book also provides a look at the medieval English perception of time, which was cyclical rather than linear, with particular attention paid to the way in which this ethos shaped the way dates were viewed and recorded. The author provides specific examples of how the Church determined the date for Easter, drawing on documents from the period.
