Albertus' Legend and Influence -- Appendix -- Chronology -- References -- Further Reading -- Photo Acknowledgements -- Index.The first comprehensive English-language biography of Albert the Great in a century.As well as being an important medieval theologian, Albertus Magnus (Albert the Great) also made significant contributions to the study of astronomy, geography, and natural philosophy, and his studies of the natural world led Pope Pius XII to declare Albert the patron saint of the natural sciences. Dante Alighieri acknowledged a substantial debt to Albert's work, and in the Divine Comedy placed him equal with his celebrated student and brother Dominican, Thomas Aquinas.In this book, the first full, scholarly biography in English for nearly a century, Irven M. Resnick and Kenneth F. Kitchell Jr. narrate Albert's key contributions to natural philosophy and the history of science, while also revealing the insights into medieval life and customs that his writings provide.Medieval Lives 230.2092Resnick Irven M181390Kitchell Jr Kenneth F1648316MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813638103321Albertus Magnus and the World of Nature3996363UNINA
