New OA Book: Islamic Astronomy and Copernicus, Prof. Dr. Jamil Ragep

 

F. Jamil Ragep’in son kırk yılda yayınladığı 15 makaleyi bir araya getiren bu eser, İslam astronomi ve bilim geleneklerinin Kopernikçi Güneş merkezli sistemin ortaya çıkışına nasıl tesir ettiğine dair yeni bakış açıları ve derinlikli bir kavrayış öne sürüyor. Makaleler, Kopernik astronomisinin İslam astronomisindeki arka planına yönelik teknik ve içerik odaklı kanıtlar öne sürerken bu birikimin Orta Çağ ve Erken Modern dönem Avrupa entelektüel ve kültürel ortamlarına hangi tarihsel ve bilimsel bağlamlar çerçevesinde ulaştığını incelemenin önemine işaret ediyor. Ragep’in yeni soruları içeren ve birçok İslam, Latin ve Yunan bilim metnini incelemek suretiyle sıkı bir araştırma örüntüsü ortaya koyan makaleleri, İslam astronomlarıyla Kopernik arasındaki bağlantıyı kapsamlı bir çokkültürlü perspektiften incelemeye meraklı herkesin ilgisini çekecektir.

Interpretatio: Sources and Studies in the History of Science: Alhacen’s De aspectibus / Kitab al-Manazir

Interpretatio: Sources and Studies in the History of Science

This publication is devoted to the history of pre-modern science understood as a subject that includes not only what was variously called science from antiquity up to the early modern period in cultures ranging from Spain to India, and from Africa to northern Europe, but also the diverse contexts in which this science figured at a given  time. It aims to make fundamental texts in the history of science accessible to the modern reader both online and in print, by means of editions, translations, and interpretations that satisfy the requirements of specialists but still address the needs of non-specialists and general readers.

Interpretatio comes in two forms. The first, Series A, is comprised of brief  items (each numbered and paginated separately) that are published as they are ready. The second, Series B, is for monographs, collections of essays, and the like.

Interpretatio is intended for readers interested in the history and interpretation of the various disciplines called science in the West from antiquity until the modern era, as well as in intellectual history and philology.
