Industry Reviews
Presents a series of previously published, but not readily available, articles by the author written over 20 years, all devoted to the study of various aspects of non-Ptolemaic astronomy in medieval Islam. The texts, which formed the subject of these studies, were all written in Arabic and represent a small sample of the astronomy writings from the 11th to the 15th centuries. The main thesis is that the time often called the period of decline in Islamic intellectual history was, from the point of view of astronomy, a very productive age.
