The pages of medieval history teem with sorcerers, soothsayers, and necromancers who used their knowledge to foretell the future, uncover lost treasure, and create animated statues. For this Weeknights at the Wagner lecture, Historian Elly R. Truitt will discuss legendary figures from medieval history, examining the scientific theories foundational to divination, as well as natural and demonic magic. Discover the scientific sophistication of the so-called "Dark Ages."
