Astronomies and Cultures in Early Medieval Europe
McCluskey, Stephen C. (West Virginia University)
This book provides an overview of the astronomical practices that continued through the so-called 'Dark Ages'. Early medieval astronomies established a religious framework of sacred time and ritual calendar. Coupled with the remnants of ancient geometrical astronomy, these provided the framework for the rebirth of astronomy.
