- Medieval Meteorology is the culmination of a five-year project, funded for part of its duration by an AHRC Research Leaders Fellowship. It is a major monograph on a new area within the history of science. The book is based on extensive archival research, covering manuscripts and incunabula from England, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Poland and Czechoslovakia. The scattered nature of the archives - and chronological breadth of the study (from the late-antique period to the sixteenth century) – necessitated complex analysis built from a deep understanding of the subject developed over years of study.
