Sure. Good luck doing science without the scientific method in ridiculous impractical numerals, and printing books on sheep skin. Also good luck developing a theory of planetary motion without astronomic almanacs.

If you struggle, you can ask your highly educated peers (<1% of literacy at the time) to provide some help, or you ask the scientific elite at the time, a bunch of theocratic fanatics that would prosecute you, torture you and burn you alive along with all your findings as soon as you publish them.

Stop hoarding the credit. The Reinassance wasn't a self-emergent phenomenon. It required external influence to happen and that is factual.
