This collection explores the themes of time, simultaneity, and narrative through various historical and literary lenses. The introduction sets the stage for discussions on heilsgeschichtliche succession and figurative simultaneity, emphasizing the interconnectedness of time and presence. Contributions delve into Petrarch's exploration of lost time and eternity, alongside Dante's semantic interpretations of the afterlife. The discourse extends to medieval and early modern debates surrounding the anima separata, highlighting the simultaneous nature of thoughts.

Various authors analyze the interplay of time and space, addressing phenomena such as implicit multiplicity and structural simultaneity. The discussion includes the techniques of retardation and potentialization in Wolfram's "Willehalm," as well as the subtle synchronization in "Orendel."
