Beschreibung

Runic Calendars explores the fascinating timekeeping methods of Norse and Viking societies, revealing sophisticated systems far beyond simple record-keeping. These calendars were integral to their social, economic, and religious lives, demonstrating advanced astronomical observation, mathematical understanding, and symbolic representation. One intriguing aspect is how these societies tracked the movements of the sun and moon to identify solstices and equinoxes, crucial for predicting weather and planning agricultural activities. Furthermore, the calendars' connection to Norse mythology highlights how specific days were associated with particular gods and stories, deeply weaving timekeeping into their cultural fabric.

 
The book begins by establishing the historical and social context of Norse and Viking societies, then proceeds across three major sections. First it will explore the different types of runic calendars, then it will dissect the astronomical knowledge embedded within, and finally it will investigate the cultural significance. By examining archaeological finds, medieval Norse literature, and linguistic data, Runic Calendars offers a nuanced understanding of these ancient timekeeping devices. This targeted approach provides an in-depth analysis valuable to anyone interested in history, archaeology, or the history of science.

    Das vorliegende Handbuch bietet eine umfassende Darstellung der Vielfalt der in der Schweiz bis in jüngste Zeit mündlich und schriftlich verwendeten Sprachen und Dialekte und der räumlichen und sozialen Bedingtheit ihres Auftretens. Es bezieht sich nicht ausschliesslich auf die Schweiz als viersprachiges Land, sondern geht neue Wege, indem es darüber hinaus das Englische sowie Sprachen berücksichtigt, deren heutige Präsenz in der Schweiz auf Migration beruht. Auch historische Sprachen und Dialekte, die in der Schweiz und im liechtensteinischen Sprachraum gesprochen werden, sowie die drei Schweizer Gebärdensprachen werden behandelt. Mit Ausblicken über die Schweiz hinaus bietet das Handbuch eine erweiterte Perspektive auf die Räume, die die Sprachen der Schweiz einnehmen. So wird das traditionelle Verständnis von Vielsprachigkeit um neue Aspekte und aktuelle Entwicklungen ergänzt.
