Welcome to Gerard's page! This project was developed through research prepared for an Advanced Reference Seminar led by Dr. James V. Carmichael, Jr. at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in the Spring of 1995. The class mandate was for each student to choose an obscure historical figure and conduct exhaustive research so that a would-be biographer would have the resources necessary to write a definitive biography on the individual. Gerard, a fascinating figure who translated important Arabic manuscripts into Latin in twelfth century Spain, was my obscure figure of choice.

Catalogue : Medical Encyclopedias Encyclopedias Kitab al-Qanun fi al-tibb MS A 53 The Canon on Medicine known to Europeans as Avicenna d. 1037/428 H) This massive general medical encyclopaedia was composed over a lengthy period of time as its author moved westward from Gurgan in northern Iran, where it was begun, to Rayy near modern Teheran and then to Hamadan even further southwest, where it was completed. The sheer size of the encyclopaedia tended to reinforce its authoritative nature, and even its title Qanun , meaning "canon" or "codes of law", contributed to this view. The Canon of Medicine was widely read by Europeans in the Latin translation of Gerard of Cremona made in the 12th century. So great was the interest in this mammoth medical textbook that late in the 15th century Girolamo Ramusio attempted to improve upon Gerard of Cremona's Latin translation by comparing it with an Arabic manuscript , and in 1527 a new Latin version was published that had been made by Andrea Alpago (d. 1522), who had resided in Damascus for thirty years as a physician in the service of the Venetian Republic and had used his fluency in Arabic not only to translate it but also to append an Arabic-Latin glossary of terms. Between 1500 and 1674 some sixty editions of part or all of the Canon were published in Europe, mostly intended for use in university medical training. The work consists of five "books".

GERARD OF CREMONA (c. 1114– 1187), the medieval translator of Ptolemy's Astronomy, was born at Cremona, Lombardy, in or about 1114. Dissatisfied with the meagre philosophies of his Italian teachers, he went to Toledo to study in Spanish Moslem schools, then so famous as depositories and interpreters of ancient wisdom; and, having thus acquired a knowledge of the Arabic language, he appears to have devoted the remainder of his life to the business of making Latin translations from its literature. The date of his return to his native town is uncertain, but he is known to have died there in 1187. His most celebrated work is the Latin version by which alone Ptolemy's Almagest Tables of "Arzakhel,” or Al Zarkala of Toledo, Al Farabi On the Sciences (De scientiis), Euclid's Geometry, Al Farghani's Elements of Astronomy, and treatises on algebra, arithmetic and astrology.

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "tripod.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" ISLAMIC BACKGROUND OF WESTERN RENAISSANCE (1) The nomadic Arabs, who rose from their desert tents, founded in remarkably short space of time, the mightiest empire of the Mediaeval era, which stretched from the shores of the Atlantic in the West to the Great Wall of China in the East. Their success in the field of territorial conquests was no more spectacular than their achievements in the realm of knowledge. Thus Christian Europe was rather slow to recognize the greatness of Islamic learning and its influence on the Revival of the West. Westerners like John Davenport, Stanley Lane Poole, M.P.E. Berthelot and more recently Holmyard, Max Meyerhof, George Sarton, Philip K. Hitti, Robert Briffault and John William Draper have gratefully acknowledged the part played by Muslims in the advancement of learning and the awakening of Europe. "Down to the 15th century", writes a western historian, "Whatever scientific activity existed in Europe was engaged in assimilating Arab learning without greatly adding to it." Islamic Institutions The Jews who enjoyed complete tolerance in Muslim Spain took a lively interest in the development and popularisation of Arabian learning both during and after the Moorish regime. They were scattered all over Europe after the Ahmohadeen conquest and became the ambassadors of Arabian culture wherever they went. French and German monks including Hildegard and Hrosvitha, the literary nuns of the Thuringian convent, learnt Arabian sciences from them. The wandering Jews founded numerous schools such as those of Kimhic and Ben Esra of Norbonne, where the diffusion ofGrabian learning was carried on through translation and teaching. A large number of these Jews accompanied William of Normandy to England where they established the first English school of science at Oxford, in which Arabian sciences were freely taught. It was in this school that Roger Bacon learnt Arabic sciences from Jewish teachers.

'... Jabir was better known in the West through Gerard of Cremona's translation. His name was used as that of an authority who criticized Ptolemy. But more serious was his influence on Western trigonometry... His most important influence was upon Regiomontanus' De triangulis, written in the early 1460s and printed in 1533, which systematized trigonometry for the Latin West. The core of the fourth book of this treatise is taken from Jabir without acknowledgement: the plagiarism was the subject of several pungent remarks by Cardano. Jabir was still quoted in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries - for instance, by Sir Henry Savile and Pedro Nuñez. Copernicus' spherical trigonometry is of the same general type, but we have no reason to believe it was taken straight from the Islah. He called Jabir an "egregious calumniator of Ptolemy"' (DSB). This work was translated by Gerard of Cremona, from the revised text, ca 1185, of Maimonides and his pupil Joseph ibn 'Aqnin.

Many of the operative procedures and instruments described by Abulcasis do not appear in extant classical writings and may therefore be regarded as his own, or at least as being part of a distinctly Arabic practice. 'The work contains some of the earliest illustrations of dental instruments' (Garrison and Morton p 572). 'The chief influence of Abulcasis on the medical system of Europe was that his lucidity and method of presentation awakened a prepossession in favour of Arabic literature among the scholars of the West: the methods of Abulcasis eclipsed those of Galen and maintained a dominant position in medical Europe for five hundred years ... Abulcasis' description of operations are clear and particularly valuable because they portray the figures of surgical instruments in the Middle Ages' (Campbell p 88). See M.S. Pink and G.L. Lewis, Albucasis on Surgery and Instruments, London 1973.
