s 17 the most popular and notable of their works was etymologiae a vast compendium of human knowledge at the time including mathematics geometry astronomy medicine animals the physical world geography metals and rocks compiled by bishop isidore of seville c 560 636 18 in on the reckoning of time the monk bede of jarrow 19 c 673 735 provided churchmen with the practical astronomical knowledge needed to compute the proper date of easter using a procedure called the computus this text remained an important element of the education of clergy from the 8th century until well after the rise of the universities in the 12th century 20 bede described two comets over england in ad 729 as fiery torches that struck terror in all who saw them for comets were heralds of bad news 21 rabanus maurus c 780 856 archbishop of mainz was one of the most prominent teachers of the carolingian age who like bede wrote treatises on computus and on the nature of things abbot ælfric of eynsham c 955 c 1010 who is known mostly for his old english homilies wrote a book on astronomical time reckoning in old english based on the writings of bede abbo of fleury c 945 1004 the abbot of fleury abbey wrote astronomical discussions of timekeeping and of the celestial spheres for his students teaching for a while in england where he influenced the work of byrhtferth of ramsey c 970 c 1020 who wrote a manual in old english to discuss timekeeping and the natural and mystical significance of numbers 22 pythagoras on one of the archivolts at chartres cathedral from medieval europe s cathedral schools

century history of science translations of greek and arabic sources european science in the middle ages high middle ages ad 1000 1300 toledo school of translators and oxford calculators in the high middle ages cathedral schools developed as centers of education the school of chartres established by the chartres cathedral became an important center of french scholarship one of the most prominent members of the school william of conches c 1090 c 1154 wrote that in those matters that pertain to the catholic faith or moral instruction it is not allowed to contradict bede or any other holy fathers if however they err in those matters that pertain to physics it is permitted to state an opposite view 23 cathedral schools evolved into or were superseded by medieval universities which were the springboard of many of western europe s later scientific achievements 24 25 26 the oldest university currently in continuous operation in the world 27 appeared in the 11th century in italy the university of bologna 28 paris university c 1150 oxford university 29 1167 salerno university 1173 the university of vicenza 1204 disputed discuss cambridge university 1209 salamanca university 1218 1219 padua university 1222 naples university 1224 and vercelli university 1228 30 followed over the next century and a half closely associated with the church 31 these medieval universities used church latin as a lingua franca in the 12th century the church helped re popularize and disseminate ancient greek ideas and mathematical techniques across europe by sponsoring the translation of newly available arabic language versions of greek texts into latin 32 this was done in large part to aid in astronomical study j l heilbron in his book the sun in the church cathedrals as solar observatories writes that the roman catholic church gave more financial aid and support to the study of astronomy for over six centuries from the recovery of ancient learning during the late middle ages into the enlightenment than any other and probably all other institutions 33 scholasticism edit main article scholasticism god as architect geometer from the frontispiece of french codex vindobonensis 2554 c 1250 theology was regarded as the first among the faculties and the queen of the sciences 34 but within this religious framework 35 medieval universities produced a great variety of scholars and natural philosophers later known collectively as the scholastics including robert grosseteste 1170 1253 who taught at the university of oxford was the founder of the oxford franciscan school became the bishop of lincoln and was an early expositor of a systematic method of scientific experimentation 36 saint albert the great 1200 1280 who wrote in de mineralibus book ii tractate ii ch 1 that it is the task of natural science not simply to accept what we are told but to inquire into the causes of natural things 37 and roger bacon c 1214 1292 who wrote in opus majus that there are two modes of acquiring knowledge namely by reasoning and by experience reasoning draws a conclusion but does not make the conclusion certain nor does it remove doubt so that the mind may rest in the intuition of truth unless the mind discovers it by the path of experience 38 before studying in the higher faculties of law medicine or theology medieval universities required that students earn a master of arts degree the science historian edward grant notes that starting in the mid 13th century the curriculum for the degree consisted of courses in logic physics cosmology astronomy and mathematics higher education in the middle ages grant writes was essentially a program in logic and science never before and not since have logic and science formed the basis of higher education for all arts students 39 in science and the modern world alfred north whitehead argued that modern science inherited a faith in the power of human reason from medieval scholastics 40 grant makes a similar argument over some four centuries medieval natural philosophers transmitted a legacy to their non aristotelian and largely anti aristotelian successors in the early modern period a legacy that was unacknowledged that legacy was a pervasive and deep seated spirit of inquiry that was a natural consequence of the widespread and intensive emphasis on reason that began in the middle ages with the exception of revealed truths reason was the ultimate arbiter for most intellectual arguments and controversies in medieval universities 41 by 1500 prior to the reformation catholic europe had approximately 64 universities 42 copernicus brahe galileo kepler and newton all studied at universities founded during the middle ages copernicus edit main article copernicus portrait of nikolas copernicus on the strasbourg astronomical clock made by tobias stimmer c 1571 74 nicolaus copernicus a 19 february 1473 24 may 1543 was a renaissance polymath and catholic canon who formulated a model of the universe that placed the sun rather than earth at its center as a young man he studied for over a decade at three different catholic universities the university of kraków 1491 1495 the university of bologna 1496 1500 and the university of padua 1501 1503 in 1533 when copernicus was sixty johann albrecht widmannstetter delivered a series of lectures in rome outlining copernicus theory pope clement vii and several catholic cardinals heard the lectures and were interested in the theory on 1 november 1536 nikolaus von schönberg archbishop of capua and since the previous year a cardinal wrote to copernicus from rome some years ago word reached me concerning your proficiency of which everybody constantly spoke at that time i began to have a very high regard for you for i had learned that you had not merely mastered the discoveries of the ancient astronomers uncommonly well but had also formulated a new cosmology in it you maintain that the earth moves that the sun occupies the lowest and thus the central place in the universe therefore with the utmost earnestness i entreat you most learned sir unless i inconvenience you to communicate this discovery of yours to scholars and at the earliest possible moment to send me your writings on the sphere of the universe together with the tables and whatever else you have that is relevant to this subject 47 despite urgings from many quarters copernicus delayed publication of his book de revolutionibus orbium coelestium scholars disagree on whether copernicus publication delay was limited to concern about possible astronomical and philosophical objections or whether he was also concerned about religious objections b the majority of sixteenth century astronomers who read de revolutionibus thought that eliminating the equant was copernicus big achievement 53 because it satisfied the ancient aesthetic principle that eternal celestial motions should be uniform and circular 54 or compounded of uniform and circular parts in the sixty years following his death in 1543 copernicus s proposal that the earth was a planet was primarily attacked by protestant leaders like martin luther and philip melanchthon who used literalist interpretations of scripture to denounce the idea as absurd and urged secular governments to repress it 55 in contrast de revolutionibus initially caused only mild controversy among catholics the catholic establishment which copernicus was himself a part of for nearly a half century as a canon did not shun de revolutionibus the church itself remained officially silent on the theory s merits and even utilized some copernican mathematics for the 1582 gregorian calendar reform 56 while a dominican named giovanni maria tolosani did denounce the theory as a contradiction of holy scripture in 1546 57 his critique remained an isolated incident rather than an official stance of the church before 1610 58 jesuits edit main articles jesuits in science and jesuit missions in china scientific exchange further information ferdinand verbiest instruments for beijing observatory founded in 1540 at the end of the renaissance and the beginning of the counter reformation to meet the threat of protestantism the society of jesus the jesuits acquired a durable reputation as teachers and scholars beginning in the late 16th century the jesuits led by father matteo ricci father johann adam schall von bell and father ferdinand verbiest also sent missionaries to china where they were welcomed for their expert knowledge of astronomy calendar making mathematics hydraulics and geography 59 60 gregorian calendar edit main article gregorian calendar detail of the tomb of pope gregory xiii sculptor camillo rusconi celebrating the introduction of the gregorian calendar by the 16th century the date of the vernal equinox on the julian calendar had receded from march 25 to march 11 61 the council of trent authorized the pope to deal with calendar reform in order to stop the slow process in which the church s holidays were drifting relative to the seasons using the prussian tables of erasmus reinhold and building on the work of aloysius lilius christopher clavius a jesuit astronomer and head of mathematicians at the collegio romano proposed a significant reform the resulting gregorian calendar is the internationally accepted civil calendar used throughout the world today c 62 63 it was introduced by pope gregory xiii after whom the calendar was named by a decree signed on 24 february 1582 64 christianity and modern science edit further information relationship between science and religion influence of a biblical worldview on early modern science continuity thesis duhem and the assayer when natural philosophers referred to laws of nature they were not glibly choosing that metaphor laws were the result of legislation by an intelligent deity 65 john hedley brooke science and religion some historical perspectives 1991 scholars have noted a direct tie between particular aspects of traditional christianity and the emergence of modern science 66 67 for example historian peter harrison argues that christianity contributed to the scientific revolution because many of its key figures had deeply held religious convictions 68 and believed themselves to be champions of a science that was more compatible with christianity than the medieval ideas about the natural world that they replaced 69 in the origins of modern science herbert butterfield observed that the christians helped the cause of modern rationalism by their jealous determination to sweep out of the world all miracles and magic except their own 70 galileo and kepler said that even though no person is perfect the book of nature was written not by man but by god and god is perfect therefore nature must be perfect and if we find the smallest mistake in our theories we should make a great effort to correct it to improve our theories so that they fit the facts perfectly 71 joseph agassi the continuing revolution a history of physics from the greeks to einstein 1968 according to science historian john hedley brooke the medieval search for signs of god in nature had often been based on the assumption that the two books of scripture and nature had been written in essentially the same language 72 kepler and galileo however both believed that because the book of nature was created by god it must therefore be absolutely perfect 73 but that its hidden perfection 74 could only be understood with mathematics philosophy i e natural philosophy is written in this grand book i mean the universe which stands continually open to our gaze but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written it is written in the language of mathematics without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it 75 while st augustine had written more than a millennium earlier that everyone even the illiterate can read the book of the universe galileo asserted that numeracy not just literacy was required to read the book of nature so that even fewer people were able to truly read it than the literate able to read the book of scripture 76 galileo also argued that not only should certainties of science never be called in question much less condemned upon the testimony of biblical passages which may have some different meaning beneath their words 77 but also that those same scientific certainties should be used where appropriate to help interpret scripture 78 faith versus reason edit condemnations of the 13th century edit main article condemnations of 1210 1277 the church played a pivotal role in both establishing the university of paris around 1150 and then facilitating the acquisition and translation of lost greek texts including physical treatises of aristotle into latin but within just a few decades 1210 a provincial synod declared that n either the books of aristotle on natural philosophy or their commentaries are to be read at paris in public or secret and this we forbid under penalty of excommunication 79 in 1215 acting under the authority of pope innocent iii papal legate robert of courçon incorporated these restrictions into the university s governing documents 80 effectively curtailing the teaching of certain ar...
