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. 410 0$aMedieval Lives 676 $a230.2092 700 $aResnick$b Irven M$0181390 701 $aKitchell Jr$b Kenneth F$01578775 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795873603321 996 $aAlbertus Magnus and the World of Nature$93858417 997 $aUNINA
