Robert Grosseteste (Great Medieval Thinkers) Hardcover - 2000

by James McEvoy


From the publisher

Robert Grosseteste (c 1168-1253) was the initiator of the English scientific tradition, one of the first chancellors of Oxford University, and a famous teacher and commentator on the newly discovered works of Aristotle. In this book, James McEvoy provides the first general, inclusive overview
of the entire range of Grosseteste's massive intellectual achievement.

First line

The University of Oxford was not in any way predestined, either in the form it eventually came to take or in its very existence; on the other hand, its emergence was not wholly fortuitous, for it had a prehistory in the various schools that were conducted there in the course of the twelfth century.
