From the dust jacket: This volume, representing the text of lectures delivered by George Sarton as a Rosenbach Fellow in Bibliography in 1953, is an exemplary account of how and to what extent ancient and medieval sciences were transmitted during the Renaissance. Concerning himself with medicine, natural history, mathematics, and astronomy, Professor Sarton renders a detailed picture of scientific knowledge and its dissemination during the years from 1450 to 1600. Because this span of a century and a half paralleled the development of printing, this work examines the contributions not only of scholars and men of science, but also of the pioneer printers and publishers whose zeal and devotion made it possible to preserve the learning of past ages....
