Isidore of Seville's On the Nature of Things, the first attempt by a Christian author to present an account of the physical universe ? the heavens, planets and stars, earth and its physical features, weather and time ? played an exceptionally influential role in the assimilation of classical science into the emerging Christian culture of medieval Europe.
