Studies in the History of Mediaeval Science is a foundational work of intellectual history that meticulously explores the development and transmission of scientific knowledge during the Middle Ages. Written by the renowned historian Charles Homer Haskins, this volume examines the evolution of thought that defined the medieval era, specifically focusing on the pivotal Renaissance of the Twelfth Century.

The work investigates how Greek and Arabic learning was preserved, translated, and integrated into the Latin West, covering a broad range of disciplines including astronomy, mathematics, medicine, and calendar science. Haskins highlights the critical roles of cultural centers in Sicily and Spain as bridges for ancient wisdom, while profiling the scholars and translators who facilitated this intellectual migration. By drawing on extensive manuscript research, the book illuminates the sophisticated scientific curiosity of the period and dismantles the myth of the Middle Ages as a time of intellectual darkness.
