Adelard of Bath was born at Bath in 1075. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of England.
Thought in this period moved between the Islamic world, the Jewish communities and the Latin West, and the same texts were argued over in three traditions.
The recorded fields of work are philosophy.
Among his principal works are Quaestiones naturales, De cura accipitrum and De eodem et diverso. The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.
