La luz de la Edad Media. La historia de la ciencia medieval

Book Details

Los grandes logros científicos de una Edad Media brillante

La Edad Media suele considerarse una Edad Oscura y se asocia al atraso tecnológico, pero la realidad es otra: fue entonces cuando florecieron las primeras universidades, se inventaron las gafas y relojes mecánicos, y surgió una vibrante y rica cultura científica.

En La luz de la Edad Media, Seb Falk, historiador de la ciencia de la Universidad de Cambridge, nos sumerge en la ciencia medieval a través de la historia de un monje del siglo XIV, John Westwyk. Desde multiplicar con números romanos hasta explorar las estrellas con los astrónomos toledanos, curar enfermedades y conocer la hora con un antiguo astrolabio, descubriremos las bases que la ciencia medieval sentó para el mundo moderno. En nuestro recorrido por la ciencia del Medievo, nos encontraremos con un elenco de notables personajes, como el abad inglés leproso que construye relojes de vanguardia, el artesano francés convertido en espía, el rey español que impulsó la ciencia medieval y el polímata persa que fundó el observatorio más avanzado del mundo.

La luz de la Edad Media es una historia fundamental y apasionante que revoluciona nuestra forma de entender el pasado y descubre los ignorados logros de una ciencia medieval que sentó las bases de nuestro mundo moderno.
