Alchemy

The major field of science in medieval Europe was Alchemy.  Alchemy was in many ways the predecessor of modern science, especially the science of chemistry.  The purpose of Alchemy was to find a way to turn common metals into gold or silver.  There was also a second purpose which was to find a way to get humans to live forever.  Of course none of these goals were accomplished but much was learned about how things reacted and other basic chemistry.

The Medieval Science Page has many links to sites with information on the achievements in the medieval time period.  The links are organized into different science categories.
