The present book is the first  comprehensive analysis of all attestations of counting time in  medieval Nubia known to date. It discusses nine different aspects  of keeping track of time, divided into two parts: 'Annual dating  methods' and 'Calendars'. The author on the one hand concentrates  on indicating possible directions of influence that governed the  use of particular dating methods in Nubia and on the other tries  to prove the Nubians' own inventiveness in this field. Each  chapter is supplied with a set of tables and maps faciliating the  comprehension of the collected material. The book should be used  together with an on-line resource for textual sources from  Christian Nubia, 'The Database of Medieval Nubian Texts', to be  launched in October\/November 2011 at www.dbmnt.uw.edu.pl.","brand":"The Journal of Juristic Papyrology","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49540146037079,"sku":"9788392591955","price":67.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9788392591955.jpg?v=1731912819","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/chronological-systems-of-christian-nubia-9788392591955","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
