A lecture in relation to 'Unfolding Time: The Medieval Pocket Calendar' exhibition.
Seb Falk will unpick the curious history of medieval calendars. From the mind-bending maths required to establish the precise length of the year and calculate the date of Easter, to their accumulation of a wealth of astronomical, astrological and devotional data, to their use as frames for stunning seasonal art, calendars are endlessly fascinating. This richly illustrated talk will delve deep into some examples from Lambeth and beyond.
All are welcome, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Monday 21 April.
This event is also available to watch online. Please book a separate ticket if you wish to join us online instead of in person for this lecture: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/878b33fe-da70-480e-a5e5-ee13ce389618@95e2463b-3ab0-47b4-9ac1-587c77ee84f0
