Readings in Medieval History: Medieval Science, Technology and Magic
Modern understanding may link science with technology, but magic is a world apart. In the Medieval West, where alchemy and the astrolabe comfortably shared a workroom, intellectuals pursued both with equal fervor and equal respectability. This class will explore the medieval meanings and context of “science” and “magic,” as well as developments in technology, and the relationship to authority of all three. 3 hrs. sem.
