	Preface from Centuries of Darkness
		Everything we found confirmed our suspicion that the original spanner in the works was the Egyptian time-scale, and that the 'centuries of darkness' inserted into the histories of so many areas between 1200 and 700 BC were largely illusory.
		At the turn of the century the classical scholar Cecil Torr and Egyptologist Jens Lieblein stood firm against the newly established 'high' Egyptian chronology, but their arguments for a lower dating fell on stony ground.
		Involving a reduction of Egyptian dates by a full eight centuries at one point, it produced a rash of new problems far more severe than those it hoped to solve.

	§2. Thomas Traherne; "Centuries of Meditations". VI. Caroline Divines. Vol. 7. Cavalier and Puritan. The ...
		The nearest parallel, in the English literature of the time, to the Sancta Sophia of Baker is the Centuries of Meditations of Thomas Traherne; 1 yet Traherne, above all things, is an Anglican.
		He set himself to supply a private friend (as it appears) with thoughts for divine contemplation, in his Centuries of Meditations, a book which had the strange fortune to remain in manuscript for nearly two hundred and fifty years.
		He even suggests the style of the poet of two centuries later who brought into his prose the ardour of his poetry, Algernon Charles Swinburne.

		Centuries are divided into five classes, based on cumulative point values.

	Century - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A century is one hundred of something, usually one hundred consecutive years, or 100 runs in cricket, or a bicycle ride of 100 miles in a day.
		The English word century also renders the meanings of the Latin word centuria which was (1) a tactical unit in the Roman legion; although originally 100 soldiers, it was more commonly 60-80 soldiers, commanded by a centurion.
		In all dating systems, centuries are essentially numbered ordinally, as time is a purely relative notion (its physical existence, though indispensable for our understanding of reality, still remains unproven in theory).

	NGA - Dutch and Flemish Painting 16th-17th centuries
		Mor's reputation was eclipsed in the seventeenth century by that of Anthony van Dyck, who eventually became court painter to Charles I of England.
		The most sought-after Flemish painter of the seventeenth century was Van Dyck's teacher, the scholar, linguist, and diplomat Peter Paul Rubens, who was besieged with commissions from the nobility and religious orders of Europe for portraits, altarpieces, mythological scenes, and allegories.
		The emergence of the Dutch school of painting in the early seventeenth century is one of the most remarkable phenomena in the history of the visual arts.

	Ultracycling: Larry Schwartz Year-Rounder Century Challenge
		Club centuries are the highlight of many endurance riders' seasons: the fun of a day on the bike with friends and the challenge of riding 100 miles.
		Although the goal is a century a month, it might be too snowy or icy some months; so we'll allow two make-up rides.
		An "Organized" century is a ride with: a name, designated start/finish location and starting time(s), route plan, organizer, and advance publication of the ride or ride series in club newsletters, etc.

	Atom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dalton and Avogadro rediscovered the works of Democritus and Leucippus and suggested in the 19th century that matter was made up of atoms, but they knew nothing of their structure.
		Because their energy could only change by fixed quantities, they couldn't move closer to or farther from the nucleus in spirals; they could only make quantum leaps from one circle to the next.
		The study of atoms was done by largely indirect means through the 19th century and early 20th century.

	19th century - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 19th century lasted from 1801 to 1900 in the Gregorian calendar (using the Common Era system of year numbering).
		The 19th century is also sometimes known as the eighteen hundreds (1800s), referring to the latter usage.
		Historians sometime use "Nineteenth Century" as a label for the era stretching from 1815 (The Congress of Vienna) to 1914 (The outbreak of the First World War).

		This challenging spring century, metric century and double metric century, which started with a friendly dare by club member Dick "the King" Avery back in the day, has become our club’s largest "invitational" event and a proud way for us to share the biking terrain we love with riders from all over.
		These numbers are not exact, because some riders changed routes midstream, but the sign-in sheets show 112 riders for the century, 111 for the metric, and 38 for the double metric century.

	Musical Forms - Troubadours and Trouvères
		The earliest lives of the troubadours are the vidas, compiled in the 13th and 14th centuries, which have lent a romantic air to the troubadour; this is only gradually being dispelled, to reveal a well-educated and highly sophisticated verse-technician, whose music and poetry combined in the service of the courtly ideal of love.
		Troubadours were often of high social standing (like Guillaume IX of Aquitaine, generally described as the first of the troubadours) from the nobility, but they could come from any social background as long as they conformed to courtly ideals and could appreciate and acquire the refinement that went with courtly love.
		In both traditions the relationship between text and music remained flexible until the late 13th century; a melody for a poem could be replaced, or homage to an admired poem and melody could be paid by imitating the poem's structure while retaining the original melody (resulting in numerous contrafacta).

	Illiteracy in the Land of Israel in the first centuries c.e. (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It appears in the area of illiteracy, as in other areas, that the modern acceleration of the process implies slower tempo of changes in the past, so it is important to understand the internal behavior of the modern process to extrapolate the ancient changes in illiteracy.

		In some two or three centuries preceding the common era, and some two centuries after the beginning of the common era, two processes have been detected: 1) Population growth in the Land of Israel; 2) the founding of many towns in the same area during almost the same period.

		With such an amazing intellect, it was not surprising that he studied medicine at Montpellier and had obtained a bachelor's degree by the age of 22 and was, soon after, granted a licence to practice.
