Proposed Article Changes: George Sarton
Sarton intended to complete an exhaustive nine-volume history of science; during the preparation of the second volume, he learned Arabic and traveled around the Middle East for part of his research, inspecting original manuscripts of Islamic scientists. During his time in the Middle East, he helped to institutionalize the school of Spanish Arabists. By the time of his death, he had completed only the first three volumes: I. From Homer to Omar Khayyam; II. From Rabbi Ben Ezra to Roger Bacon, pt. 1–2; and III. Science and learning in the fourteenth-century, pt. 1–2. Sarton had been inspired for his project by his study of Leonardo da Vinci, but he had not reached this period in history before dying.

Reworking of first sentence and addition of title:

Sarton intended to complete an exhaustive nine-volume history of science entitled Introduction to the History of Science. (1) During the second volume ….

Addition of sentence on end of paragraph about lecturing subjects

However one series of lectures Sarton gave during his first year at Harvard discussed da Vinci and were entitled “ "Science and Civilization in the Time of Leonardo da Vinci, Scientist and Artist."
