Event Description
The Knowledge in Motion – Science and Medicine in the Islamic World online lecture series (History of Science Museum, University of Oxford) is created in partnership with the HSMT Centre and the Global History Centre.
Taha Yasin Arslan (Medeniyet University, Istanbul) will examine the evolution of instruments of observation and calculation in the Islamic world between the 9th and 16th centuries. What was the driving force for making instruments? How did this knowledge survive? Was there a transmission of knowledge on instruments between the Islamic world and West? And if so, was this transmission one-way or two-ways, intermittent or continuous?
