Summary

Alle Thyng Hath Tyme offers a vivid recreation of how medieval people experienced time, capturing its continuous and discontinuous, linear and cyclical nature. It explores how time was intertwined with both Creation and Judgement, perceived in fleeting 'atoms' or 'droplets', and extended into the silent eternity. The book reveals how natural phenomena, such as sunrise, sunset, star movements, and seasonal changes, shaped time reckoning, even as the mechanical clock emerged to add precision. This nuanced portrayal uncovers a rich and expansive medieval sense of time that remains profoundly relevant today.

Description

A recreation of medieval people's experience of time.

Alle Thyng Hath Tyme recreates medieval people's experience of time: as continuous and discontinuous, linear and cyclical, embracing Creation and Judgement, shrinking to 'atoms' or 'droplets' and extending to the silent spaces of eternity. They might measure time by natural phenomena such as sunrise and sunset, the motion of the stars or the progress of the seasons, even as the late medieval invention of the mechanical clock was making time-reckoning more precise.

Negotiating these mixed and competing systems, medieval people gained a nuanced and expansive sense of time that rewards attention today.
