About the Book

La historia de cómo se perdieron y redescubrieron las ideas del mundo clásico.

El relato evocador y vibrante de cómo se rescataron las ideas del mundo clásico, el origen de nuestra herencia intelectual común.

Tras la caída de Roma, muchas de las grandes ideas del mundo clásico, base del conocimiento moderno, se perdieron para siempre. Innumerables libros fueron destruidos por los cristianos, y la biblioteca de Alejandría, el mayor depósito de saber del mundo, fue arrasada. Pero tres manuscritos cruciales sobrevivieron a esa edad de la penumbra e impulsaron la llegada del Renacimiento.

En este sorprendente debut, la historiadora Violet Moller rastrea los caminos que tomaron las ideas de tres de los más grandes científicos de la Antigüedad -Euclides, Galeno y Ptolomeo- a lo largo de más de mil años y a través de siete ciudades, centros de conocimiento excepcionales, donde una serie de personajes curiosos y eruditos, apoyados por un puñado de jefes de Estado ilustrados, rescataron y difundieron sus obras.

Al explorar estas rutas del conocimiento, Moller revela la red de conexiones entre el mundo islámico y la cristiandad que preservaría y transformaría la astronomía, las matemáticas y la medicina: de la Alejandría del siglo VI al Bagdad del siglo IX, y de ahí a la Córdoba musulmana, al Toledo católico, a la facultad de medicina medieval de Salerno, luego a Palermo, con su vibrante mezcla de culturas y, finalmente, a Venecia, donde las imprentas permitieron que el saber se difundiera ampliamente y el Renacimiento echara raíces.

La ruta del conocimiento es un relato emocionante, evocador y vibrante de nuestra herencia intelectual común.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The evocative and vibrant tale of how ideas from the classic world were rescued, the origin of our common intellectual heritage.

After the fall of Rome, many of the great ideas from the classic word, the basis of modern knowledge, were lost forever. The Christians destroyed innumerable books and the Library of Alexandria, the world's largest deposit wisdom, was laid to waste. However, three crucial manuscripts survived that Dark Age and inspired the Renaissance.

In this surprising debut, historian Violet Moller retraces the paths ideas from three of Antiquity's greatest scientists--Euclid, Galileo, and Ptolemy, traveled, for more one thousand years and through seven cities, exceptional centers of knowledge, where a series of curious and scholared characters, supported by a handful of enlightened heads of state, rescued and distributed their works.

Upon exploring these paths of knowledge, Moller reveals the web of connections between the Islamic world and Christianity that would preserve and transform astronomy, mathematics, and medicine: from Alexandria in the 6th century to 9th Century Baghdad, and from there to Muslim Cordoba, to Catholic Toledo, to Salerno's medieval school of medicine, then to Palermo, with it's vibrant mix of cultures, and, finally, to Venice, where the printing presses at last allowed the wisdom to be widely distributed and the Renaissance to take root.

The Path of Knowledge is an exciting, evocative, and vibrant story about our shared intellectual heritage.
