Description

This scholarly work by Brill explores how Muslims throughout history have determined the sacred direction towards Mecca, known as the qibla, and presents two recently-discovered, highly sophisticated Mecca-centred world-maps designed for this purpose. The volume, part of the Islamic Philosophy, Theology and Science series, reveals sophisticated mathematical and cartographic achievements that have prompted a reevaluation of Muslim contributions to these fields. The text combines historical analysis with detailed examination of these innovative maps, offering insights into the intersection of religious practice and scientific innovation in Islamic civilisation. Researchers, historians and students of Islamic science will find this detailed exploration essential for understanding medieval mathematical cartography and religious geography.
