هندسه و دیوپتریک در اسلام کلاسیک

The author, in this book highlights the importance of Arabic scientific heritage and the critical importance of its historic documentation. He also emphasises the role played by early scholars of mathematics in the development of Greek engineering, how it reached them, and how they developed and propagated it. The author shows the high degree of sophistication the Greek heritage underwent under Islamic scholarship especially with al-Ṭūsī and al-Khayyām, to the extent that no one was able to add to their contributions in this field until the nineteenth century. The positive effects of their contributions were manifest during what was termed the dark ages of Europe. Roshdi Rashed. Includes Bibliographical References (p. [1165]-1178) And Indexes.
