Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Week: An Essay on the Origin & Development of the Seven-Day Cycle' offers a comprehensive investigation into the historical and social evolution of our most familiar unit of time. F. H. Colson explores how the seven-day cycle, a concept that governs the rhythm of modern life, emerged f…rom a complex tapestry of ancient traditions, astrological theories, and religious observances.The work meticulously traces the development of the week from its dual roots: the Jewish Sabbath and the pagan 'planetary week' of the Graeco-Roman world. Colson examines how these two distinct systems-one rooted in scripture and the other in the observation of the celestial bodies-eventually merged and spread across the Roman Empire and beyond. By analyzing classical texts and historical evidence, the author sheds light on how ancient peoples understood time and how the planetary sequence of days became a standardized global practice.This scholarly essay is an invaluable resource for readers interested in the history of science, anthropology, and classical studies. It provides a fascinating look at the cultural shifts that transformed an ancient concept into a universal framework for human activity, emphasizing the enduring legacy of classical and religious thought on our daily lives.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
