Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mediaeval Lore From Bartholomew Anglicus
Altogether, this introduction to the study of the Medieval Encyclopedia, and the insight which such works give us into the thought of the past and its desire for knowledge, make a book at once agreeable and useful and I repeat that it is a hopeful sign of the times when students of science find themselves drawn towards the historical aspect of the world of men, and show that their minds have been enlarged, and not narrowed, by their special studies - a defect which was too apt to mar the qualities of the seekers into natural facts in what must now, I would hope, be called the just-passed epoch of intelligence dominated by Whig politics, and the self-sufiiciency of empirical science.
