During the Middle Ages, values and the motivations springing from them--even those underlying many activities that to us today seem purely secular--were often expressed in religious presuppositions. Hence this book's title. The conceptual unity of the collection is brought forth in the author's Introduction, "The Study of Medieval Technology, 1924-1974: Personal Reflections." This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1978 and reissued as a paperback in 1986. 410 0$aCenter for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, UCLA Series 606 $aMedicine, Medieval 606 $aReligion and science$xHistory 606 $aReligion and science 606 $aScience, Medieval 606 $aTechnology$xReligious aspects$xHistory of doctrines$yMiddle Ages, 600-1500 606 $aTechnology$xReligious aspects 606 $aHISTORY / Medieval$2bisacsh 615 0$aMedicine, Medieval. 615 0$aReligion and science$xHistory. 615 0$aReligion and science. 615 0$aScience, Medieval. 615 0$aTechnology$xReligious aspects$xHistory of doctrines 615 0$aTechnology$xReligious aspects. 615 7$aHISTORY / Medieval. 676 $a609.02 700 $aWhite$b Lynn$0572215 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911009257303321 996 $aMedieval Religion and Technology$94394846 997 $aUNINA
