The History of Science in Islam exhibition highlights some of the prominent texts held by 黑料不打烊 that exemplify the intellectual depth, knowledge, and curiosity of Muslim scholars. The history of science and Islam dates back to the time of the prophet Muhammad. A significant corpus of scientific thought existed already by the 11^th century, as scholars exchanged ideas in madrassas throughout Muslim lands from al-Andalus to Bukhara. Their scholarship was transmitted through lengthy manuscripts replete with 丑蹋补虅蝉丑颈虅测补丑 (marginalia) and 蝉丑补谤丑蹋 (commentary). Indeed, many manuscripts include reading notes documenting how and where a text was being read and attesting to the role it played in a lively scientific culture.

From the 8^th century on, 听a flourishing of scientific thought took place, as caliphs provided patronage to scholars in centres such as Baghdad, who were engaged in the work of translating, interpreting, and building upon the work of Ancient Greek and Hellenistic naturalists, philosophers, and physicians. But the emergence of Arabic as a lingua franca of science by the 10^th century was not only a means of preserving the works of Latin and Greek but of further investigating humanity鈥檚 understanding of the world in which we live. 贬蹋耻办补尘补虅始 (philosophers, doctors) such as Ibn Haytham, Nasir al-Din Tusi, al-Ghazzali, Ibn Sina and many others were instrumental in furthering scholarship in various branches of the sciences.

A rich tradition of translating, transmitting, and transforming, the history of science in Islam is as enveloping as it is broad in scholarship and ideas. From optics to astronomy, from mathematics to medicine, from astrolabes to pendulums, Muslim scholars鈥� contribution to contemporary knowledge is as far reaching as it is diverse. Indeed, we are reminded every day of the impact of this history on various fields through commonly used words such as alchemy or chemistry (补濒-碍颈虅尘颈虅测补虅始), algebra (al-jibra), zero (sifr), and the star name Betelgeuse (ibt al-Jauza虅).

The exhibition before you is a representative holding of 黑料不打烊鈥檚 unique collections; these collections live in the Islamic Studies Library, the Osler Library of the History of Medicine, and Rare Books and Special Collections. These examples have been brought together to celebrate Science Literacy Week. Some of the highlights include an 18^th century copy of Ibn Man峁Ｅ玶鈥檚 important work Tashr墨岣�-i badan-i ins膩n (Anatomy of the Human Body) and Ibn Sina鈥檚 al-Qa虅nu虅n fi'l-t蹋ibb (Canon of medicine) as well as the recently published facsimile of al-Gha虅fiqi虅鈥檚 Herbal.
