Dear Stepehn Harris, I have been concerned with the 'Six Ages' concept for some time and have an article coming out soon. In the meantime here are a few books I found most useful: ARNO BORST, Computus: Zeit und Zahl in der Geschichte Europas, Berlin 1990 (English translation: The Ordering of Time: From the Ancient Computus to the Modern Computer, Polity Press 1993) HANS MAIER, Die christliche Zeitrechnung, Freiburg 1991 RUDOLF WENDORFF, Zeit und Kultur. Geschichte des Zeitbewusstseins in Europa, Opladen 1980 G.J. WHITROW, Time in History, Oxford 1988. GERTRUD BODMANN, Jahreszahlen und Weltalter. Zeit- und Raumvorstellungen im Mittelalter, Frankfurt/New York 1992 P. SCHANZ, Das Alter des Menschengeschlechts nach der Heiligen Schrift, der Profangeschichte und der Vorgeschichte, Biblische Studien 1, 1896, v-xi und 1-100 DETLEF FRAENKEL, Die Ueberlieferung der Genealogien Gen 5:3-28 und Gen 11:10-26 in den Antiquitates Iudaicae des Flavius Josephus, in: De Septuaginta. Studies in Honour of John William Wevers on his sixty-fifth birthday, ed. ALBERT PIETERSMA and CLAUDE COX, Ontario 1984 I hope one or other of these titles is of some help.
