Synopsis "Adelard of Bath, Conversations With his Nephew Paperback: On the Same and the Different, Questions on Natural Science and on Birds (Cambridge Medieval Classics) (in English)"
This book consists of editions and translations of the three known texts in which Adelard of Bath (c. 1080-1150) addresses his Nephew: an exhortation to the study of the liberal arts that constitute "philosophy" (On the Same and the Different), a dialogue on the nature of things in which rational causes are sought (Questions on Natural Science), and a discussion concerning the upbringing and medication of hawks (On Birds). A preface introduces the works and places them in the context of the Court schools of Norman bishops and dukes.
