Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of Magic and Experimental Science, Vol. 1: During the First Thirteen Centuries of Our Era
Galen: the Man and His Times, in The Scientific Monthly, January, 1922; Early Christianity and Natural Science, in The Biblical Review, July, 1922; The Latin Pseudo Aristotle and Medieval Occult Science, in The Journal of English and Germanic Philology, April, 1922 and notes on Daniel of Morley and Gundissalinus in The English His torical Review. For permission to make use of these pre vions publications in the present work I am indebted to the editors of the periodicals just mentioned, and also to the editors of The Columbia University Studies in History, Economics, and Public Law, The American Historical Re view, Classical Philology, The M onist, Nature, The Philo sophical Review, and Science. The form, however, of these previous publications has often been altered in embodying them in this book, and, taken together, they constitute but a fraction of it. Book I greatly amplifies the account of magic in the Roman Empire contained in my doctoral dis sertation. Over ten years ago I prepared an account of magic and science in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries based on material available in print in libraries of this country and arranged topically, but I did not publish it, as it seemed advisable to supplement it by study abroad and of the manuscript material, and to adopt an arrangement by authors. The result is Books IV and V of the present work.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and often misunderstood relationship between magic and experimental science in the first thirteen centuries of the Common Era. Focusing primarily on the 12th and 13th centuries, a time of great intellectual flourishing, the author meticulously examines how these seemingly disparate realms intertwined and influenced the development of Christian thought. By exploring the works of influential figures like Pliny, Galen, Ptolemy, and Thomas Aquinas, the book reveals how magic, often considered a primitive superstition, actually laid the groundwork for scientific exploration. Magicians, with their curiosity and experimentation, paved the way for the scientific method and shaped the intellectual landscape of the Middle Ages. This book challenges preconceived notions about magic and science, offering a fresh perspective on their shared history and their impact on the evolution of Western thought. By illuminating the intricate connections between these two domains, the author ultimately demonstrates how magic's legacy continues to resonate within the very foundations of modern science. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282652111_0
