Robert Grosseteste and the origins of experimental science, 1100-1700
Book • 1971
This work by A. C. Crombie explores how Robert Grosseteste pioneered systematic experimental methods within the medieval university.
It situates Grosseteste's techniques—hypothesis, deduction, and experimental verification—within the scholastic tradition.
The book traces the intellectual lineage from Aristotle and classical sources through medieval innovations that anticipated later scientific methods.
Crombie highlights the institutional and theological settings that allowed such inquiry to flourish.
The study reframes the origins of experimental science as rooted in medieval scholarly practices rather than solely in later Renaissance figures.
