This article presents information about the book "Science and Thought in the Fifteenth Century," by Lynn Thorndike. The book is an admirable example of erudite historical writing, chiefly of a monographic character. It is distinctly a book for the specialist, who will find in it much curious and relevant information ordinarily overlooked in the history of science. For the general public the most valuable and interesting chapters are the first, dealing with the general nature of late medieval science. As a whole, the book is another trustworthy brick which seem future writer may exploit in erecting the general edifice of the intellectual history of Western society.
