Cambridge Studies in the History of Science synopsis

Contrary to popular opinion, the roots of modern science were planted in ancient and medieval worlds long before the 17th century scientific revolution. In fact, this revolution could not have been conceived without the cumulative efforts of three great civilizations: Greek, Islamic and Latin.

With the scientific richness derived from the translation from Greek Islamic sources in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the Latin-Christian civilization of Western Europe began the final stage of the intellectual journey culminating in the scientific revolution that transformed the world. The factors that produced this unique achievement were found in the way Christianity developed in the West and in the invention of the University in 1200.

As this 1997 study shows, it is not merely a coincidence that the emergence of modern science and the modern university took place simultaneously in Western Europe during the late ages Central.
