In this thought-provoking and original book, George Saliba argues that, contrary to the generally accepted view, the foundations of Islamic scientific thought were laid well before Greek sources were formally translated into Arabic in the ninth century. Drawing on an account by the tenth-century intellectual historian Ibn al-Nadim that is ignored by most modern scholars, Saliba suggests that early translations from mainly Persian and Greek sources outlining elementary scientific ideas for the use of government departments were the impetus for the development of the Islamic scientific tradition. He argues further that there was an organic relationship between the Islamic scientific thought that developed in later centuries and the science that came into being in Europe during the Renaissance."--Jacket. 001385539 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001385539 650_0 $$aScience$$zIslamic countries$$xHistory. 001385539 650_0 $$aIslam and science. 001385539 650_0 $$aScience, Medieval. 001385539 650_0 $$aCivilization, Western$$xIslamic influences. 001385539 653__ $$aSCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY/History of Science 001385539 653__ $$aHUMANITIES/History 001385539 653__ $$aPHYSICAL SCIENCES/General 001385539 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001385539 852__ $$bebk 001385539 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/3981.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001385539 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001385539 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1385539$$pGLOBAL_SET 001385539 980__ $$aBIB 001385539 980__ $$aEBOOK 001385539 982__ $$aEbook 001385539 983__ $$aOnline
