Abstract

On parle volontiers de « réforme du calendrier » à propos de la modification du comput du temps par Jules César; mais il serait plus judicieux de parler de révolution, tant les modifications rendent l’usage antérieur obsolète et instaurent une nouvelle ère, en même temps qu’ils élargissent au temps le pouvoir que le dictateur exerçait sur l’espace. La division du mois, de son côté, subit elle aussi des transformations radicales dont la chronologie est généralement mal maîtrisée. Il s’agira ici de traquer les premières apparitions de la semaine et son intégration dans le calendrier.

Abstract

‘Calendar reform’ is usually said about the change of reckoning of the time by Caesar; but it would be better to speak about revolution, so much so that the modifications made the previous use obsolete and established a new era, while at the same time extending to time the power which the dictator already exercised on space. On the other hand, the division of the month also underwent radical modifications, but its chronology is not generally well-understood. Here we will examine when the week first appeared and how it was integrated into the calendar.
