Nature and the occupations or labors that each month brought were reflected in earthly calendars, while the movements of the heavens and their impact on mankind were recorded in the signs of the zodiac. The changing compositions that were used to represent these twin calendars in several hundred works of art are documented in this volume, which provides an unrivaled visual record for the student and scholar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Index of Christian Art Dept. of Art and Arche","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47891965837463,"sku":"9780976820239","price":4239.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780976820239.webp?v=1781185292","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/time-in-the-medieval-world-occupation-of-the-months-and-signs-of-the-zodiac-in-the-index-of-christian-art-9780976820239","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
