Bede and Time
Author: Máirín MacCarron
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317175743
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Awarded the Irish Historical Research Prize 2021. The Venerable Bede (c. 673–735) was the leading intellectual figure of the early Anglo-Saxon Church, and his extensive corpus of writings encompassed themes of exegesis, computus (dating of Easter and construction of calendars), history and hagiography. Rather than look at these works in isolation, Máirín MacCarron argues that Bede’s work in different genres needs to be read together to be properly understood. This book provides the first integrated analysis of Bede’s thought on time, and demonstrates that such a comprehensive examination allows a greater understanding of Bede’s writings on time, and illuminates the place of time and chronology in his other works. Bede was an outstanding intellect whose creativity and ingenuity were apparent in various genres of writing. This book argues that in innovatively combining computus, theology and history, Bede transformed his contemporaries’ understanding of time and chronology.

Anno Domini

Publisher: Brepols Publishers
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
The new millennium forces us to reflect on systems for counting time and distinguishing historical eras. This exhaustive, authoritative study describes not only the origins and the early development of the Dionysian system of dating (named after Dionisius Exiguus), from its invention until its adoption throughout Western Europe in the course of the eleventh century, but also its antecedents in Late Antiquity and the general context in which this era was conceived. The result is a broad chronological and geographical survey, encompassing developments over a period of one thousand years in both Latin Christendom and the Byzantine East. This comprehensive survey is directed to both specialists and non-specialists and will be indispensable for any reader interested in early Christian chronology.
