Publisher' s grey cloth binding with gilt stamped Arabic title to spine and upper cover; central gilt ornamental device on upper cover; patterned blue and gilt endpapers. Sponsored by Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and Sheikh Suroor bin Mohammed Al Nahyan, this Arabic edition stands as both a cultural statement and an historiographical intervention, making available to Arabic readers a landmark collaborative reappraisal of medieval intellectual exchange as a shared Mediterranean achievement. Translated from the English volume edited by John R. Hayes (1929-93) and first published by the New York University Press in 1975, the work challenges the notion of the European Renaissance as an isolated revival: instead, it argues that the scientific, philosophical, and artistic infrastructure of early modern Europe was inseparable from the systems elaborated in the Arab Islamic world between the 8th and 15th centuries CE. - Organized as an extensive civilizational survey, the volume proceeds across literature, philosophy, architecture and art, the exact sciences, life sciences, mechanical technology, and trade and economic exchange. It presents Arab Islamic civilization not as a passive transmitter of Greek antiquity but as an active site of critical assimilation and original synthesis. By tracing the concrete transmission corridors of Toledo, Sicily, and related Mediterranean networks, the book documents how Arabic texts became foundational within European university curricula, particularly in medicine, astronomy, optics, and Aristotelian philosophy. The Renaissance thus emerges as a connected phenomenon grounded in centuries of Arabic scholarship, rather than a self-generated European rebirth. - A cornerstone reference in modern Arabic discussions of cross-cultural knowledge transmission, this translation preserves one of the most influential twentieth century attempts to reposition the Renaissance within a broader, shared intellectual history. - Binding sound; minor surface marks to cloth.
