Resumen de Le Moyen Âge et les sciences , by Danielle Jacquart and Agostino Paravicini Bagliani eds.
Danielle Jacquart and Agostino Paravicini Bagliani celebrate the hundredth volume of the Micrologus Library series, published by sismel Edizioni del Gal- luzzo, with a collection of essays entitled Le Moyen Âge et les sciences.
Le Moyen Âge et les sciences is a generous work, comprised of twenty-six scholarly contributions. In addition, the volume includes Agostino Paravicini Bagliani’s introduction (“‘Micrologus’ et les sciences au Moyen Âge,” pp. vii– xxiv) and Danielle Jacquart’s final essay (“Conclusion: les sciences médiévales dans leur environnement,” pp. 639–661), which is intended as the volume’s conclusion, as well as two indexes (one of names and places, pp. 665–688, and one of manuscripts, pp. 689–691). Paravicini Bagliani’s introduction and Jacquart’s conclusion balance each other well and effectively frame the vol- ume’s editorial and conceptual context. The introduction outlines the history of the Micrologus conferences, showing the continuity of this volume of the “Micrologus Library” with topics and approaches of both the journal and the series. The aim of Micrologus, according to Paravicini Bagliani, has always been to explore the relationship between medieval conceptions of nature and sci- ence with an eye to the society in which they were embedded (see pp. vii– viii).
