Medieval Time: Calendars

The intricacies of the medieval calendar are examined in this sumptuously illustrated volume, featuring many of the finest examples from The Morgan Library's unparalleled collection. The lucid and concise text explains the complexities of Vigils, octaves, Egyptian Days, Golden Numbers, Dominical Letters, movable feasts and the key role played by the saints days, including the colours in which they are written as well as their rankings and gradings.

The first study in this volume provides a Greek text and translation of the final forty-two years of Eusebius' chronicle, the first such attempt at reconstruction since 1606, while the second presents the first ever Greek text and translation of an important lost continuation of Eusebius' chronicle, written in Antioch in 350.
