- Abstract
The article discusses the history of Medieval science. It considers the role of Church fathers such as Saint Basil, Saint Gregory of Nicaea, and Saint Augustine on the realm of scientific knowledge and the study of nature during the Middle Ages. Notable ancient Greek thinkers whose works were venerated during the period included the Greek physician Galen, Roman scientist Pliny the Elder, and Greek philosopher Aristotle. Medieval scientific works considered include those by Cosmas of Alexandria, Saint Jerome, and Alcuin, who borrowed and adapted heavily from ancient Greek and Roman texts.
