'of + 추상명사'는 형용사처럼 해석하면 됩니다.

of equal importance = equally important

When we think of medieval Europe, there is a tendency to think primarily in terms of what is visible today: the buildings and cathedrals, the literature and the scholastic philosophy.

 

우리가 중세 유럽을 생각할 때, 주로 오늘날 눈에 보이는 것, 즉 건물과 성당, 문헌, 그리고 스콜라 철학이라는 관점에서 생각하는 경향이 있다. 

 

Yet what is of equal importance, particularly from the standpoint of the rise of modern science, is the fact that medieval culture was a mechanically sophisticated culture, even if little remains today of their machines.

 

그러나 특히 현대 과학의 발흥이라는 관점에서 볼 때 똑같이 중요한 것은, 비록 오늘날 그들의 기계 중에 남아 있는 것이 거의 없지만, 중세 문화는 기계적으로 정교한 문화였다는 사실이다. 

 

For example, Albertus Magnus, the teacher of Aquinas, is rumored to have had a robot in his laboratory that could raise a hand and give a greeting.

 

예를 들어, Aquinas의 스승 Albertus Magnus는 자신의 실험실에 손을 들어 인사할 수 있는 로봇을 가지고 있었다는 설이 있다. 

 

The story is no doubt apocryphal, but there was in any case a great interest in machines, even if science itself was primitive and qualitative.

 

그 이야기는 명백히 출처가 의심스럽지만, 비록 과학 그 자체가 원시적이고 정성적이었다 하더라도 여하튼 기계에 대한 큰 관심이 있었다. 

 

What is clear is that the spread of mechanical clock technology was underway by the beginning of the fourteenth century.

 

분명한 것은 기계식 시계 기술의 확산이 14세기 초에는 진행중이었다는 점이다. 

 

It is also clear that there was a multiplicity of machines at this time with clockwork mechanisms, ranging from monastic alarms, musical machines, and astronomical simulators to striking clocks.

또한 이 시기에는 수도원의 자명종, 음악 기구[장치], 천문 모의실험 장치에서 타종 시계에 이르기까지 시계 장치 구조를 가진 다양한 기계가 존재했던 것도 분명하다.
