Time and the Astrolabe in the Canterbury Tales

Marijane Osborn, "Time and the Astrolabe in the Canterbury Tales"
2002 | pages: 369 | ISBN: 0806134038 | PDF | 18,8 mb

Marijane Osborn demonstrates that Chaucer structured the Canterbury Tales after the astrolabe, an Arabic Islamic time-keeping device. Chaucer’s fascination with this device also accounts for the sense of time and astronomy in the Tales.
