Time Management at School from the Late Middle Ages to the Industrial Age. A Few Cases in Point

The aim of this essay is to account for the progressive development of strategies forvparcelling and organizing time at school, that is, the distribution and realization of tasks on a shared timeline. I will provide only a first tentative answer to the question of how the relationship between education and time changed from the late Middle Ages to the Industrial Age, by focusing on a few cases in point from various geographical areas. Such an approach avoids far-fetched generalizations by providing concrete examples that illustrate certain larger developments in the history of temporal organization.
