Description

Explore the history of mathematical sciences in medieval Islam with this scholarly collection from Routledge. Part of the Variorum Collected Studies series, this volume examines the essential transfer of knowledge through the translation of texts from Greek into Arabic and subsequently from Arabic into Latin. It provides a detailed look at how terminology and comparative vocabulary evolved during these transitions. Beyond text, the book investigates the practical application of mathematics through the study of astronomical instruments and the technology of the sphere. Readers can examine these subjects from both mechanical and mathematical perspectives. The collection includes specific studies on historical developments, such as the self-rotating sphere of al-Khazini from the 12th century and the transmission of spherical science. This work is a significant resource for those studying world history, the history of science, and the transmission of ancient knowledge.
