Adelard (of Bath)
An English scholastic scholar active in the first half of the 12th century. Dates of birth and death unknown. Born in Bath. A typical scholar of the 12th century, known in cultural history as the "century of translation," he played a pioneering role in translating and introducing new scientific knowledge that had blossomed in the Arabic cultural sphere to the Latin world. After studying in France, he was not satisfied with his old knowledge and traveled for about seven years to Italy, Sicily, Syria, and probably Palestine and Spain, striving to absorb new knowledge.
