Geoffrey Chaucer

Geoffrey Chaucer

Though Geoffrey Chaucer was renowned as an author, diplomat, and philosopher in his own time, his most lasting contribution was Canterbury Tales. The work earned Chaucer a reputation as the greatest poet of the Middle Ages. These stories appealed to an incredibly wide audience, especially children. They’ve been adapted countless times and remain popular subjects to this day. But Chaucer also wrote one item expressly for a child–on a rather unusual subject. He wrote a scientific treatise on how to use an astrolabe for his son Lewis.
