From the beginning, people lived in nature and discovered things about it. Ancient societies bequeathed to the Middle Ages both the Bible and a pagan conception of natural history. These conflicting legacies shaped medieval European ideas about the natural order and what economic, moral and biological lessons it might teach. This book analyzes five themes found in medieval views of nature - grafting, breeding mules, original sin, property rights and disaster - to understand what some medieval people found in nature and what their assumptions and beliefs kept them from seeing.Human ecologyEuropeHistoryTo 1500NatureEffect of human beings onEuropeHistoryTo 1500Philosophy of natureEuropeHistoryTo 1500NatureReligious aspectsCivilization, MedievalEuropeHistory476-1492Human ecologyHistoryNatureEffect of human beings onHistoryPhilosophy of natureHistoryNatureReligious aspects.Civilization, Medieval.304.2094/0902Epstein Steven1952-250913UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910465510303321The medieval discovery of nature2473298UNINA
