Arts, Science and Education

During the Late Middle Ages, education was primarily the domain of the clergy, while the majority of the population remained illiterate. Church scholars played a pivotal role in preserving ancient texts, translating Greek and Arabic works into Latin, and fostering the birth of universities in Europe. Their method, Scholasticism, aimed to reconcile Christian theology with classical philosophy through reasoned dialogue. Concurrently, Gothic architecture emerged, characterized by flying buttresses and pointed arches, influencing both religious and secular buildings, and emphasizing emotional depth in art.
