Time and its end are among the fundamental questions of humanity. The fascinating but also terrifying anticipation of the end has repeatedly caused people to try to determine the time of its arrival. This volume pioneers the analysis of apocalyptic expectations in medieval Europe between 800 and 1000.
Die Zeit und ihr Ende gehort zu den grundlegenden Fragen der Menschheit. Das gilt besonders fur jene Religionen und Kulturen, die an ein Leben nach dem Tode glauben. Die faszinierende, aber auch erschreckende Erwartung des Endes hat immer wieder Anlass gegeben, den Zeitpunkt seines Kommens zu bestimmen. Dieser Band leistet Pionierarbeit bei der Analyse der apokalyptischen Erwartungen im mittelalterlichen Europa zwischen 800 und 1000.
