“But following the life of an ordinary scientific monk gives us a true picture of medieval belief and thought.”

“The doctrine of ‘scientism’, the belief that an infallible scientific method is the only route to reliable knowledge, is, in its own way, as dangerous as blind religious faith. As long as science is a human activity, it will have human flaws.”

“This book will get you doing science with him, learning the science as and when he learned it. From counting to 9,999 on your fingers to casting a horoscope or curing dysentery, understanding something of how medieval science was not just thought but really done – not just admiring astrolabes but weighing the brass in your hands – is essential to appreciating its achievements.”
