Abstract | In the pre-Carolingian medieval West time was articulated according to secular and ecclesiastical chronologies. Often these two (or more) systems of chronology competed for the attention and sanction of the dominant social order. Thus, the same people might alter their method of reckoning time, change it for a new one, or even operate multiple, overlapping reckonings at the same time. |
