“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.”
