Translatio Studii et Imperii
Notas do episódio
In the 12th century a young man set out in search of a book. The Almagest, the great work of astronomy had disappeared from western Europe and had long ceased to be read. The young man, Gerard, eventually found the work in Toledo, Spain and translated it into Latin. This story however, is only part of a Europe wide movement, whereby many of the great Greek works would finally become available.
