The authors offer a versatile view on the variety of ways time could be perceived. Individual chapters concentrate on the grass-root levels of everyday life, on various uses of the past in the present, as well as on the control of time by the ecclesiastical authorities. These studies reveal a wealth of new information that demonstrates  the almost endlessly fluid manner in which time could be perceived,  as well as the innovative ways  in which time could be used by individuals and authorities alike.       Contributors are members of Tuomas Heikkilä’s research group at the Finnish Institute in Rome: Holger Kaasik, Urpo Kantola, Marko Halonen, Jasmin Lukkari and Saku Pihko.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e List of Illustrations   Notes on Contributors     1 Time and the Eternal City    Tuomas Heikkilä     2 Temporal Expressions in Canonisation Processes and Diari, and the Perception of Time in Late Medieval Rome    Saku Pihko     3 The Jubilee of 1300 as an Instrument of Time Control and Papal Power    Jasmin Lukkari     4 Time Set in Stone: Temporal References in the Non-funerary Epigraphy of Rome (1000–1527 AD)    Urpo Kantola     5 The Medieval Calendars of S.
