Note(s) : "The study of time, astronomy, and calendars, has been closely intertwined in the
history of Western culture and, more particularly, Jewish tradition. Jewish interest
in astronomy was fostered by the Jewish calendar, which was based on the courses of
the sun and the moon, whist astronomy, in turn, led to a better understanding of how
time should be reckoned. Time, Astronomy, and Calendars in the Jewish tradition, edited
by Sacha Stern and Charles Burnett, presents a wide selection of original research
in this multi-disciplinary field, ranging from Antiquity to the later Middle Ages.
Its variety of approaches and sub-themes reflects the relevance of astronomy and calendars
to many aspects of Jewish, and more generally ancient and medieval, culture and social
history. Contributors include: Jonathan Ben-Dov, Reimund Leicht, Marina Rustow, Francois
de Blois, Raymond Mercier, Philipp Nothaft, Josefina Rodriguez Arribas, Ilana Wartenberg,
Israel Sandman, Justine Isserles, Anne C. Kineret Sittig, Katharina Keim, and Sacha
Stern"--Summary. - Bibliogr. p. 362-365
