It was much influenced by Sidhanta, a work in Sanskrit brought from India to Baghdad and translated into Arabic by Ibn Ibrahim al-Fazari and later on by Abu Musa Khwarizmi. Pahlavi tables (zij) compiled during the Sasanid period and Greek astronomical works translated during this period prepared the ground for Arabian astronomy. Ptolemy's Al-magest went into several translations in Arabicthe best being the one by Hajjaj Ibn Mater (827-28) and another by Humayun Ibn Ishaq, revised by Thabit bin Qurra (d/901). Khwarizmi has written a valuable treatise on astronomy and has compiled his own Tables (zij) which, after two centuries was revised by Spanish atronomer Majriti (011007) and was translated into Latin by Adelard of Bath. This formed the basis of later astronomical pursuits both in the East and the West and replaced all earlier tables of Greek and Indian astronomers. This table was also adopted in China. Mashallah and Ahmad bin Muhammad alNahavandi were the earliest Arab astronomers who flourished during the reign of Mansur, the second Abbasid Caliph. Mashallah was called the Phoenix of his age by Abul Faraj. He is distinguished for writing several valuable treatises on 'Astrolabe' the armillary sphere and the movements of heavenly bodies which have been acclaimed by later scientists. Ahmad compiled from his observations an astronomical table known as Al-Mustamal which registered an advance over earlier notions of the Greeks and Hindus.

63. Islamic World And The Western Renaissance adelard of bath, Peter Abelard, Robert Grossetteste, Alexander of Hales,Albertus Magnus, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Bonaventura, Duns http://www.cyberistan.org/islamic/ghazi1.html

ISLAMIC WORLD AND THE WESTERN RENAISSANCE by Dr. S. M. Ghazanfar While the "occidental-oriental" dichotomy of recent centuries identifies the World of Islam as separate and `Eastern,' that world, is inextricably linked with the West. In general, however, "Westerners - Europeans - have great difficulty in considering the possibility that they are in some way seriously indebted to the Arab [Islamic] world, or that the Arabs [Muslims] were central to the making of medieval Europe" (Maria Menocal, The Arabic Role in Medieval Literary History; 1987; p.xiii). Two notable contemporary exceptions are: Carl Sagan , the Nobel laureate astronomer (Princeton University) and John Esposito, Director, Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, Georgetown University. Both have candidly talked of West's Judeo-Christian-and-Islamic heritage. Esposito talked of this heritage recently, and added, "Nobody ever told me that," and that he "was always taught the linkages between Judaism and Chistianity..." (CNN, 12/15/95). This thesis may be corroborated by merely presenting a few quotations from eminent past and present scholars (interested readers may wish to consult the references for greater detail): "No historical student of the culture of Western Europe can ever reconstruct for himself the intellectual values of the later Middle Ages unless he possesses a vivid awareness of Islam looming in the background."

The reason: mild profanity. The result: suspension (don't disbelieve it) Apparently, my fellow citizen and comrade-in-arms, Adelard of Bath, had gone off on an exegetical tirade on the subject of his "preference of reason to authority" in the very, very face of our very own Hegemon. In addition to the rather tactless choice of subject matter, Adelard of Bath’s colourful phraseology roused the immediate ire of our higher up.

Book Description Abu Mabwar (787-886, in Western Europe known as Albumasar) was the best known astrologer of the Middle Ages in both the Islamic world and the Christian West. His master-work was the Great Introduction to astrology, which was copied into numerous Arabic manuscripts, translated twice into Latin, and printed in the Renaissance. However, he himself made an abbreviation of this work, which summarised the astrological information in the larger work in a convenient way. This abbreviation survives in two Arabic manuscripts and a Latin translation made by Adelard of Bath in the early twelfth century. The Abbreviation of the Introduction to Astrology contains the first edition of the Abbreviation and the Latin translation, with English translations of both texts and several indexes. As well as being of interest to cultural historians it should serve as a useful introduction to medieval astrology. Keywords: Click For More Info!

WILLIAM OF CHAMPEAUX Life William of Champeaux enjoyed among his contemporaries a very high reputation for learning and sanctity. He was known as the Columna Doctorum ; according to Abelard, he was re et fama praecipuus ; and when he died it was said that "the light of the Word of God was extinguished on earth." Sources . Of the philosophical writings of William of Champeaux we possess merely some fragments: a portion of the work De Origine Animae , published by Martene, and forty-two fragments discovered at Troyes by Ravaisson, portions also of a Liber Sententiarum and a Dialogus seu Altercatio Cujusdam Christiani etJudaei Our chief secondary sources of information are Abelard, who constantly refers to his rival teacher, and John of Salisbury. Michaud's Guillaume de Champeaux (Paris, 1867) is an excellent study of our philosopher and his times. DOCTRINES Problem of Universals .

The prohibition of wine in Islam did not mean that wine was not produced or consumed or that Arab alchemists did not subject it to their distillation processes. Jabir ibn Hayyan described a cooling technique which can be applied to the distillation of alcohol. Some historians of chemistry and technology assumed that Arab chemists did not know the distillation of wine because these historians were not aware of the existence of Arabic texts to this effect. The purpose of this note is to present some Arabic texts about the production of alcohol from wine, starting with the eighth century. The first reference to the flammable vapours at the mouths of bottles containing boiling wine and salt occurred in Kitab ikhraj ma fi al-quwwa ila al-fi`l of Jabir ibn ayyan Hayyan ( born c.

DIVINE PROPORTIONS Louise Morley Cochrane '40 turns out to have inherited a taste for numbers as well as words. The daughter of writer Christopher Morley and granddaughter of mathematician Frank Morley, she majored in political science at Bryn Mawr and says that only Professor K. Laurence Stapleton coaxed her out of her fear of putting pen to paper. Moving to Great Britain after her marriage, she was an interviewer and broadcaster for the B.B.C., a writer of children's books and career novels for teen girls (including Anne in Electronics, 1960), a Fulbright commissioner, and chicken raising enthusiast. In her golden years, she became interested in the lay Benedictine, Adelard of Bath, who introduced Hindu/Arabic numerals and the concept of zero to the Western world. Her 1994 book, Adelard of Bath:The First English Scientist, was the first on the subject for the general reader in English. While traveling in the Middle East during the Crusades, Adelard obtained a manuscript of Euclid's Elements, which he translated from Arabic into Latin. Later, as a member of the court of Henry I, he collaborated on a translation of the Zij or Astronomical Tables of Al-Khwarismi, a 9th-century Arab astronomer and mathematician who gave his name to the words algorithm and algebra. Adelard's most important work, on the astrolabe, was written for the future Henry II whom he tutored as a boy of 12.

Adelhard (Adelard) of Bath - Give and take reason About a thousand years ago the Moors in Spain were in possession of a great deal of early Greek, Indian, and later Arabic, mathematics, but carefully guarded it from Europe. Many European scholars around 1100 began to seek out this Arabic knowledge. An English monk, Adelhard of Bath (c. 1090 - c. 1150) studied in Syria and southern Italy. About 1120, at considerable personal risk, Adelhard disguised himself as a Mohammedan student to attend lectures in Cordova . He managed to sneak out a copy of Euclid's Elements and in other ways helped bring Europe's mathematical Dark Age to an end. Now that's a real "cloak and dagger" story! Adelhard, at some risk, also set his reason against the authority of the Catholic Church. He is said to have said that he would not listen to those who are "led in a halter ... Wherefore if you want to hear anything from me, give and take reason." When studying mathematics it is well to remember how much we owe to the courageous, independent and inquiring intellects of scholars such as Adelhard of Bath. Bent E. Petersen - 1998
