The Relevance of the Middle Ages to the History of Science and Technology

---

Prior to the late nineteenth century, few scholars assigned much importance to the Middle Ages when discussing the development of modern science and technology. Most assumed that the medieval period was best seen as a backward age whose darkness helped set out the brilliance of the Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment. Beginning in the first decade of this century, Pierre Duhem tried to change this view by presenting evidence of important scientific discoveries that were supposedly made in the fourteenth century by Parisian and English scholastics. By the late 1920s, Charles Homer Haskins drew back the curtains even farther with his speculations about the importance of the renaissance of the twelfth century.’ With the renewed interest in medieval science and technology that followed, the way was opened for a critical reassessment of the relevance of the Middle Ages to the development of our modern scientific-technological world.
