Excerpt from A History of Magic and Experimental Science, During the First Thirteen Centuries of Our Era, Vol. 2
Hugh's attitude to history is interesting to note in pass ing. In his classification of the sciences he does not assign it a distinct place as he does to economics and politics, but he shows his inchoate sense of the importance of the histpry of science and of thought by attempting a list of the found ers Of the various arts and sciences.1 In this connection he adopts the theory of the origin of the Etruscans at present in favor with scholars, that they came from Lydia. He regards the study of Biblical or sacred history as the first essential for a theologian, who should learn history from beginning to end before he proceeds to doctrine and alle gory.2 Four essential points to note in studying history in Hugh's opinion are the person, the event, the time, and the place.

This book delves into the fascinating world of intellectual pursuits during the 12th and 13th centuries, a time often considered to be dominated by religious thought. The author challenges this assumption by exploring the vibrant exchange of ideas in natural science and mathematics, highlighting the role of both experimentation and magic.

The book offers a glimpse into the curious and inquisitive minds of medieval scholars, showcasing their attempts to understand the natural world through observation, deduction, and even a touch of magic.
