Samenvatting:

Named a Best Book of 2020 by The Telegraph, The Times, and BBC History Magazine

An illuminating guide to the scientific and technological achievements of the Middle Ages through the life of a crusading astronomer-monk.

"Falk’s bubbling curiosity and strong sense of storytelling always swept me along. By the end, The Light Ages didn’t just broaden my conception of science; even as I scrolled away on my Kindle, it felt like I was sitting alongside Westwyk at St. Albans abbey, leafing through dusty manuscripts by candlelight." —Alex Orlando, Discover
