| Synopsis: |
Arabic learning was pervasive in medieval England from the 11th to the 13th centuries, the period covered by this book, with many manuscripts being studied and translated by Western scholars. This text describes the resulting influence of Arabic philosophers, mathematicians, astronomers, astrologers and physicians on English cultural life. Based on a close examination of surviving manuscripts, the text reveals some of the ways in which Arabic learning was introduced into England, dealing respectively with monastic and cathedral schools, private tutors of the nobility, and the early universities. It describes the successions of masters and pupils, the transmission of texts and the ideal system of learning which determined programmes of translation over long periods. It also relates the story of scholarly endeavour over many generations, in which the achievements of individuals such as Abelard of Bath, Robert of Ketton, Daniel of Morley, Alfred of Shareshill and Michael Scot are prominent. |
