Description

Original bdg. HC. Large roy. 8vo. (25 x 16 cm). In English. [xvi], 379 p., b/w ills. "This work, which brings together 15 articles published by Ragep over the past forty years, offers new perspectives and a profound understanding of how Islamic astronomy and scientific traditions influenced the emergence of the Copernican heliocentric system. While the articles present technical and content-focused evidence regarding the background of Copernican astronomy in Islamic astronomy, they also highlight the importance of examining the historical and scientific contexts through which this body of knowledge reached the intellectual and cultural environments of medieval and early modern Europe. Ragep's articles, featuring new questions and a rigorous research approach by examining numerous Islamic, Latin, and Greek scientific texts, will attract the interest of anyone curious to explore the connection between Islamic astronomers and Copernicus from a comprehensive multicultural perspective."
