Publisher's Note During the Middle Ages, a thriving center for learning and research was Muslim Spain, where students gathered to consult Arabic manuscripts of earlier scientific works and study with famous teachers. One of these teachers was Sa'id al-Andalusi, who contributed to the science of all known nations by his writings. Today, it is one of few surviving medieval Spanish Muslim texts, and this is its first English translation.
Industry Reviews One of the earliest comprehensive essays on the history of science, written in 1068 by a famous teacher in Muslim Spain, is here translated into English for the first time. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. SciTech Book News
