Culture Of Muslim Spain suggesting that the orbits of the planets are not circular but ovoid.jabir ibn aflah (12th century) criticized the Ptolemaic system. http://lilt.ilstu.edu/bekurtz/culture.htm
Extractions: Culture of Muslim Spain Arab civilization in the peninsula reached its zenith when the political power of the Arabs began to decline. In the 8th century, in the years immediately following the conquest, there were no traces of a cultural level higher than that attained by the Mozarabs who lived among the Arab conquerors. All available evidence points to the fact that in this period popular works of medicine, agriculture, astrology, and geography were translated from Latin into Arabic. Many of these texts must have been derived from the Etymologies of Isidore of Seville and from other Christian writers. In the 9th century, the situation changed abruptly: the Andalusians, who traveled east in order to comply with the injunction to conduct a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their lifetimes, took advantage of their stay in those regions to enhance their knowledge, which they then introduced into their native country. Literature. The highest peak in Islamic literature in Spain was attained during the era of the ta`ifas, when the poet-king al-Mu'tamid established an embryo of an academy of belles lettres, which included the foremost Spanish intellects as well as Sicilians who emigrated from their native land before its conquest by the Normans. Other petty kings in the peninsula endeavoured to compete with al-Mu'tamid but did not succeed in assembling a constellation of writers of comparable stature. Among the outstanding poets of the 12th century in eastern Andalusia (the Andalusian Levant) were Ibn Khafaja of Alcira and his nephew Ibn az-Zaqqaq. To the era of greatest decadence in the 13th century belonged Abu al-Baqa` of Ronda and Ibn Sa'id. In the 14th century three court poets, Ibn al-Jayyab, Ibn al-Khatib, and Ibn Zamraq, preserved their verses by having them inscribed in the Alhambra.

After the Mongol invasion in the thirteenth century, our scholars closed the doors of ijtihad, i.e., independent reasoning and inference about new issues and situations which keep arising because human society by its very nature is in constant flux and in an ever-changing ferment. Only animals are unable to plan any change in their lives. New situations and challenges crop up all the time in every human society. And only those societies succeed and grow which accept new challenges and take the trouble of solving their problems in time.

Extractions: Introduction Allow time for all images to download History is replete with revolutions. They have been bloody, bloodless, political, industrial, intellectual, cultural, social, sexual, scientific, and spiritual. The word has been applied to innumerable areas. We may discuss a revolution in music, such as when Jazz or Rock and Roll was introduced, or a revolution in fashion when the bikini or mini-skirt first appeared. Revolutions are more than a dramatic change or the sudden appearance of a heretofore-unknown idea. A revolution represents a change of values. What we value becomes part of our culture and defines who we are. Who we are today and what we define as our modern world was born of a revolution that took place not on the battlefield, but in the mind. This paper will review the written works of the astronomers, scientists, and mathematicians who participated in what has come to be called the Copernican Revolution. The Ancient Universe: Staring up at the night skies and contemplating the nature of the universe must surely rank as one of the humanity's oldest philosophical pursuits. Often, how a particular culture defines the universe tells us more about the culture than the true nature of the universe. The ancient Egyptians, for example, imagined their universe as a sort of an elongated platter, closely resembling the dimensions of the Nile valley. Like the Babylonians, the Egyptians imagined the heavens to be a sort of dome over the Earth.

Extractions: European-Arabic Congress of Mathematics (with History of European and Arabic Mathematics and Mathematicians) SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE President: CONTENTS AND SCOPE The ALHAMBRA 2000 European-Arabic Congress of Mathematics (with History of European and Arabic Mathematics and Mathematicians) aims for presenting a global view of how mathematical schools around the Mediterranean Sea contributed to the development of Mathematics. It will especially focus on the following points: The role played by Spain during the Middle Ages in the advancement of Mathematics was twofold. First, the very development of Mathematics during the age of Al-Andalus was very important. On the other hand, various communities lived in Spain in good terms and worked together. Fm the 12th century onwards, this attracted scholars from the North of Europe who came to Spain to translate this body of knowledge into Latin. As a consequence, this symposium is designed for a wide audience, which is not limited to specialists on past and present-day Mathematics, Arabic, Medieval, Renaissance and Classical mathematics.

Extractions: Arabisk videnskab i middelalderen. Astronomien udvikling i de arabiske lande i middelalderen. Videnskabernes udvikling i de arabiske lande byggede videre på resultater opnået i andre kulturer, primært græsk kultur, men også indisk og persisk kultur. Først oversattes videnskabelige tekster om astronomi fra sanskrit/indisk og pahlavi/middelpersisk til arabisk. Dernæst fulgte oversættelser af græsk videnskabelig litteratur. I løbet af det 8. og 9. årh. var de indiske, persiske og græske hovedværker, bl.a. Almagest og Euklids Elementer oversat til arabisk. Den græsk-hellenistiske tradition blev mønsterdannende for videnskaberne i de arabiske lande. Den græsk-hellenistiske tradition indenfor astronomien var geocentrisk. Platon skitserede i dialogen Timaios (ca. 350 f.v.t.) et univers med jorden i centrum og med fixstjernerne, solen og planeterne kredsende i koncentriske cirkler om jorden. Herefter var de kun få som tvivlede på den geocentriske model. Det fremgår bl.a. af Aristoteles' værk De caelo , hvori han noterede at fornuft og almindelig erfaring bekræftede det geocentriske verdensbillede med jorden i centrum. De græske filosoffer som tvivlede på det geocentriske verdensbillede fik kun kortvarig indflydelse. Ptolemæus samlede de græske bestræbelser gennem flere århundreder i en syntese i værket

Extractions: Jessica Furr (Waggener), EMT 635, March 4, 1997 Introduction The contributions of Arabic cultures to the history of mathematics is often underrepresented. In particular, scientific activity in the near east between 900 and 1500a.d. was vital in maintaining the continuum of knowledge between ancient and modern scholars. The story of the preservation, expansion, and transmission of trigonometry is just one example of the accomplishments of the medieval Moslem people. The World Context After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the late 5th century, the Byzantine and Persian Empires dominated the world scene. The Byzantine Empire, centered at Constantinople, maintained complex relations with the Eastern Orthodox Catholic Church. Within this reign, Greek remained a common language among the native tongues of the Syrians and Arabs. Because Greek continued to be spoken and scholars still had a direct access to many Hellenistic libraries, there was little concern for the preservation or translation of ancient documents (Neugebauer). In fact, the era following the fall of Rome and preceding the rise of Islam was marked by extreme intellectual neglect. The famous library at Alexandria was already in terrible disrepair when it was burned by invading Arabs in the 8th century. The shift of powers at the turn of the millenium is far more complex than the scope of this paper can begin to cover. Hopefully, a few general remarks can suffice to set the background. The Byzantine Empire which arose in the 5th century had passed its peak and would officially end when Constantinople fell to the Turks in 1453. Persia experienced a period of significant academic and artistic activity in the 10th century, even though they were successively dominated by the Arabic and Ottoman (Turkish) empires. The Arabic Empire, after rapid, expansive growth, declined as a result of internal religious and political divisions, but still left behind permanent cultural influences. And looking toward the future, it is important to keep in mind that the Ottoman Empire (culturally Islamic) and the Holy Roman Empire (Western Christian) were in the midst of respectively consolidating power.
