Biographical Note
Edward Grant, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History and History and Philosophy of
Science at Indiana University, was born in 1926. He began his higher education at the
City College in New York, graduating Cum Laude in 1951, and continued to the University
of Wisconsin, where he received his Masters and Doctorate in the History of Science and
Medieval History in 1957. During this time, Dr. Grant spent a year at the University of
Utrecht as a Fulbright Scholar (1955-1956).
Dr. Grant began his successful teaching career while a graduate student at the
University of Wisconsin. He was an assistant to a well-known scholar in the field, Dr.
Marshall Clagett, whom he would continue to respect and correspond with throughout his
career. Before arriving in Bloomington, Indiana as an Assistant Professor of History,
Dr. Grant spent two years teaching at the University of Main (1957-1958) and Harvard
University (1958-1959).
Dr. Grant's teaching career at Indiana University spans over thirty years, beginning in
1959. He was instrumental in starting the department later to be known as History and
Philosophy of Science and became Distinguished Professor of both that department and
History. Dr. Grant also served as Chairperson of History and Philosophy of Science
between 1973-1979 and 1987-1990.
A distinguished medievalist, Dr. Edward Grant wrote prolifically throughout his
professorship at Indiana University. Among his numerous books are the multi-volume A
Source Book in Medieval Science and Much Ado About Nothing: Theories of Space and Vacuum
from the Middle Ages to the Scientific Revolution. Dr. Grant also published a variety of
articles and reviews in such respected journals and publications as Isis, History of
Science, Dictionary of Scientific Biography, and The New Catholic Encyclopedia.
In addition to his abundant writings, Dr. Grant was also a prominent member of several
organizations, such as the Medieval Academy of America, the Academie Internationale
d'Histoire des Sciences, and the History of Science Society for which he served as
Vice-President (1983-1984) and President (1985-1986). Dr. Grant was also a frequent
lecturer for organizations such as the Phi Beta Kappa Associates Panel of Distinguished
Speakers (1990-1998).
