Book Description:
|
For thousands of years, the theme of creation has exerted a powerful fascination on people's minds. A work of critical importance in this tradition was the Hexaëmeron of Robert Grosseteste, a study of Genesis in the light of ancient and contemporary scientific writings. On the products of a period of intense intellectual activity from about 1228 to 1235, the work is deeply revealing about Grosseteste's own mind.
