Annotation:
This University of Toronto site provides information about general science and technology during the Middle Ages - though information is weighted to the latter end of the Medieval period. The most useful pages here are those devoted to iron and steel smelting, four full-text manuscripts including works by Geber, Albertus Magnus and Johannes de Rupescissa, and a bibliography of over 100 secondary sources about the history of medieval science technology. The bibliography also includes resources about non-Western science and technology during this period. Links to related sites are provided.
