Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Scot was a legendary scholar of the Middle Ages. He was born in 1175 in the border regions of Scotland and northern England. He was an advisor court astrologer to Emperor Frederick II. Scot studied in Oxford and Paris. He was a theologian and appears to have been ordained by Pope Honorius III. He knew many languages and translated important texts from Greek and Arabic, including Aristotle. It was a contemporary of Fibonacci and it is possible he influenced the presentation of his famous Fibonnaci sequence. Noted during for his scholarship in his lifetime, Scot quickly became a legend in the years following his death c. 1232. He gained posthumous fame variously viewed as an alchemist, occultist, sorcerer, and warlock. He is the only Scot to appear in Dante's Divine Comedy. Originally published in 1897, Brown's work remains an important full-length enquiry into Scot's life and legend.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ... PREFACE After some considerable time spent in making collections for the work which is now submitted to the public, I became aware that a biography of Michael Scot was in existence which had been composed as early as the close of the sixteenth century. This is the work of Bernardino Baldi of Urbino, who was born in 1553. He studied medicine at Padua, but soon turned his attention to mathematics, especially to the historical developments of that science. Taking holy orders, he became Abbot of Guastalla in 1586, and in the quiet of that cloister found time to produce his work 'De le vite de Matematici' of which the biography of Scot forms a part. He died in 1617. This discovery led me at first to think that my original plan might with some advantage be modified. Baldi had evidently enjoyed great advantages in writing his life of Scot. His time lay nearer to that of Scot by three hundred years than our own does. He was a native of Italy, where so large a part of Scot's life was passed. He had studied at Padua, the last of the great schools in which Averroes, whom Scot first introduced to the Latins, still held intellectual sway. All this seemed to indicate him as one who was exceptionally situated and suited for the work of collecting such accounts of Michael Scot as still survived in the south when he lived and wrote. The purpose he had in view was also such as promised a serious biography, not entirely, nor even chiefly, occupied with the recitation of traditional tales, but devoted to a solid account of the philosopher's scientific fame in what was certainly one of the most considerable branches of science which he followed. It occurred to me therefore that an edition of Baldi's life of Scot, which has never yet been printed, might give...

Book excerpt: "History records Michael Scot (c.1175-c.1235) as one of the foremost intellectuals of medieval Europe, a wide-ranging Renaissance man before the actual Renaissance. Legend records him as a wizard in league with the Devil; Dante consigned him to a circle of the Inferno. Within Scotland, Fife and the Borders are rival claimants for his place of birth. Paris, Bologna, Naples, Sicily, and (above all) Toledo were the scenes of his scholarship, which included alchemy, astrology/astronomy, medicine and psychology as well as other disciplines. His activity as a translator in Toledo brought Arab learning into Europe and he contributed to the ferment of Aristotelian enquiry in its uneasy co-existence with Christian faith. Of his original writings, the Liber physionomiae is his best known; it was translated into many European vernacular languages." "The present book is the first to offer an extensive account of both the historical and legendary Michael Scot, together with representations of him in literature and the visual arts. He has attracted the creative attention of James Hogg, Sir Walter Scott, D. G. Rossetti, R. L. Stevenson, Patrick Geddes, John Duncan, John Buchan, as well as contemporary poets such as Douglas Dunn, Kenneth White and William Hershaw."--BOOK JACKET.
