The Eurasian context of medieval Europe (1982)

unapi

Description Discusses the six items (cannon, silk, the nautical compass, sugar, paper, and printing) cited by Francis Bacon as examples of useful discoveries produced “not by scrutiny of ancient texts but by the immediate probings of the secrets of nature”, to show that all these items “either came, or may well have come, to medieval Europe from India or China”.
