Week 9: 14th century science
In our whirlwind tour of the history of science, this week we make our stop in late medieval Europe, the 1300's or 14th century, the era of Dante and Chaucer. Our aim will be to get to know the scientists of late medieval Latin culture in terms of their own place and time. We'll not be like tourists in Paris, Oxford, or Bologna who seek fast food at McDonald's. We'll take nothing for granted.
