Extractions: Also known as Athelhard (English) and Adelardus Bathonienses or Adelardus Bata (Latin), Adelard has been called the first English scientist. He wrote treatises on the Abacus and on the Astrolabe, the most important scientific instrument of his time. His translations (with commentaries) of works on Mathematics and Astronomy from the Arabic helped introduce Hindi-Arabic numerals and the use of zero to the west. His book on Natural Philosophy showed how reason and observation could be used to explain natural phenomena. LIFE Monastery which became the cathedral priory. Adelard was sent to Tours, one of the great cathedral schools founded by Charlemagne, where he will have studied the seven liberal arts:- the trivium (grammar, rhetoric and dialectic) and the quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music). He was in France where he played the cithar (a stringed instrument forerunner of the guitar) to the queen. This must have been Matilda , wife of Henry I. In " De eodem et diverso"he describes how a little boy was so carried away by the rhythm of the music that he waved his arms with great enthusiasm causing the company to laugh aloud. Queen Matilda is said to have been "generous to poor scholars and musicians".

Extractions: Few details of Adelard 's life are known with certainty. We do know that he studied in Tours in the Loire Valley in west central France and that he later taught at Laon in the Picardie region of northern France. Laon lies northwest of Reims and northeast of Paris. Adelard may have taught at the theological and exegetical school there which had been founded by Anselm of Laon in about 1100. After leaving Laon, Adelard travelled for about seven years visiting first Salerno southeast of Naples. The medical school at Salerno, considered by many to be the first "modern" European university, was a famous institution at this time, drawing students from all over Europe. From Salerno Adelard travelled to Sicily which at that time was under Norman control but still strongly influenced by Arabic traditions. The Arabs from North Africa had conquered the island in 965 and remained in control for about 100 years but the Normans gained the island in 1060. Adelard next visited Cilicia, an ancient district of southern Anatolia which today is in Turkey. Cilicia was on the north east coast of the Mediterranean Sea and Adelard took the natural coastal route round the east end of the Mediterranean to Syria and then later to Palestine. We know that he returned to Bath and is mentioned in the records of that city for the year 1130. There is no record of Adelard visiting Spain, but many scholars have concluded that he must have visited that country to have had access to the Spanish-Arabic texts which he translated.

http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/adelardbath1.html

Extractions: Preface to His Very Difficult Natural Questions, [Dodi Ve-Nechdi] c. 1137 Many texts of Greek science and philosophy were first translated into Syriac, then Arabic, before becoming available in the Latin. But Arab science was not only matter of conveying Greek ideas, but was also open to Persian and Indian science, as well as its own internal creativity. In some respects - for instance problems arising from a belief in a personal creator God - Arab/Muslim thinkerswere the first to deal with issues they had in common with Christian and Jewish thinkers. The Englishman Adelard of Bath (d. post 1142) was the first significant popularizer of Muslim science in the West. He studies and then taught at schools in France, and traveled throughout the Mediterranean. In particular he introduced Euclid and aspects of astronomy. As well as more technical treatises, he wrote Natural Questions - the selections here are from its preface and part of the body - which expresses his fundamental belief that God should not be invoked to explain what human knowledge can.

This interest resulted in the fact that the De eodem et diverso was the first work of Adelard's to receive a critical edition in modern times-that of Hans Willner in 1903. Willner included a detailed study of the text in his edition, which allowed the great historian of scholasticism, Josef Reiners, to give a prominent position to Adelard's doctrine in his After that, Adelard's other works were rediscovered and editions of them were made, and continue to be made up to the present time. Attention shifted onto Adelard's contribution to the history of science through his translations of Euclid's Elements and the first complete set of astronomical tables from the Arabic. It is only recently that scholars have again taken note of Adelard's position on logic and the question of universals. The debate now has a much richer texture than it had a hundred years ago, thanks to our more detailed knowledge of the manuscripts. In particular, the successive stages of the medieval exposition of Boethius's commentaries on Porphyry's Isagoge It is not my intention in this article to compare Adelard's doctrine with that of any of his medieval contemporaries, but rather to point out to what degree his theory can be understood in reference to Boethius's words. But I do not mean the Boethius of the commentaries on the

Operational risk Adelard of Bath was a medieval mathematician and natural philosopher, and a crucial figure in the development of early European thought. Just as the company Adelard seeks the widespread adoption of a better notation for the description of computer software, so Adelard of Bath was a major influence in the revolutionary adoption of the Arabic notation for numbers instead of the intractable Roman numerals. He was a pioneer of the scientific renaissance of the 12th century, when the learning of the Ancient Greeks, which had been preserved by the Islamic countries, was reintroduced into Europe along with ideas from Arabic medicine, mathematics and astronomy. He studied in Syria and Turkey, and returned to Europe an enthusiastic promoter not only of Arabic knowledge but also the Arabic tradition of rational scientific inquiry. The academic establishment, lazing in idle reverence for the accepted authorities of the day, suddenly had to face his wry accusations of gullibility and his calls for experiment, observation and innovation. His writings include speculation that animals must have souls because they possess the power of judgement, and the first known account of the distillation of alcohol. But his most influential works were on mathematics. He translated Euclid's

Extractions: Adelard translated into Latin an Arabic version of Euclid's Elements, which for centuries served as the chief geometry textbook in the West. He studied and taught in France and travelled in Italy, Cilicia, Syria, Palestine and perhaps also Spain (c. 1110-25) before returning to Bath, England, and becoming a teacher of the future King Henry II. In his Platonizing dialogue De eodem et diverso ("On Sameness and Diversity"), his atomism and his attempt to reconcile the reality of universals with the individuals distinguish him from other Platonists. His Quaestiones naturales (76 discussions of human nature, meteorology, astronomy, botany and zoology) are based on Arabic science. His other writings include works on the abacus and the astrolabe and a translation of an Arabic astronomical table.
