Addressing ancient authority : Thomas Bradwardine and prisca sapientia / George Molland.
Abstract:
'Thomas Bradwardine's theological treatise "De Causa Dei" provides a valuable source for late medieval views on the relationship between science and religion. Bradwardine, who can be seen as belonging in a tradition deriving from Roger Bacon, was strongly impressed by the impotence of human reason in dealing with an apparent infinitude of facts, and accordingly stressed both ancient authority and prophetic revelation as appropriate sources of scientific knowledge.'
