Ashgate Variorum

The calendar worked out by Bede remains essentially the one we still use today yet the mathematical and scientific studies of the early medieval schools have been largely neglected in most discussions of the cultural and intellectual history of Latin Europe. These articles by Wesley Stevens are based on an unrivalled knowledge of the manuscript sources and provide a very different perspective demonstrating the real vitality of this science in the early medieval West. Working from the original texts and diagrams he identifies and explains mathematical reckonings and astronomical cycles by early Greek Roman and Christian scholars.
