THE OF : A SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY

Mohamed ABATTOUY

Fez University Max Planck Institut für Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Berlin

A first version of this bibliography was presented to the Frühe Neuzeit (Max Planck Institute for History of , Berlin) in April 1996. I revised and expanded it during a stay of research in MPIWG during the summer 1996 and in Fez (november 1996). During the Workshop Experience and Knowledge Structures in Arabic and Sciences, held in the Max Planck Institute for the in Berlin on December 16-17, 1996, a limited of copies of the present Bibliography was already distributed.

Finally, I express my gratitude to Paul Weinig (Berlin) for valuable advice and for proofreading.

PREFACE

The principal sources for the history of Arabic and Islamic sciences are of course original works written mainly in Arabic between the VIIIth and the XVIth centuries, for the most part. A great part of this scientific material is still in original manuscripts, but many texts had been edited since the XIXth century, and in many cases translated to European languages. In the case of sciences as and mechanics, instruments and mechanical devices still extant and preserved in museums throughout the world bring important informations. A total of several thousands of mathematical, astronomical, physical, alchemical, biologico-medical manuscripts survived. They are written mainly in Arabic, but some are in Persian and Turkish. The main libraries in which they are preserved are those in the Arabic World: , , , Algiers, Rabat ... as well as in private collections. Beside this material in the Arabic countries, the Deutsche Staatsbibliothek in Berlin, the Biblioteca del Escorial near Madrid, the and the Bodleian Library in , the Bibliothèque Nationale in , the Süleymaniye and Topkapi Libraries in , the National Libraries in , , Pakistan... own invaluable treasures of manuscripts and scientific instruments. Some of the sources are now preserved in places as far apart as Hyderabad and Chicago. Newly-identified sources offer new informations and provide far more scope to the writing of the history of the sciences composed in Arabic, and promise to yield a far more accurate historical picture of the genesis and the development of the scientific disciplines in the world of in the classical age than has been possible hitherto. Credit must be given to the labours of of science who have deployed their efforts since the last century to document the scientific production of the Arabic-Islamic civilization. But the work done in the recent period is of a wider scope, and affords more occasions to write and re-write the history of the sciences called Arabic. In the following General Bibliography, I present a selected list of works related to the different fields of the history of the sciences written and developed in the lands of Islam during the classical period (VIIIth-XVIth century). The history of Arabic science is a of research in which hundreds of specialists deployed their efforts during the last 150 years; it is impossible to present here all of this work. Consequently, I don't have the pretention to be exhaustive. I selected only a little number of sciences (mathematics, astronomy, , mechanics, natural philosophy); I let aside all the rich production in , chemistry, alchemy, theology or kalam... In particular I had to neglect all the important material published on the in Islam, which deserves a special bibliography on its own. On the other hand, even within the sciences I choosed to cover, I outlined only the essential texts and I mentioned mainly the references to which I had access, directly or indirectly. I let aside a quite large variety of titles; I hope that I didn't neglect many of the important ones. Recent publications of original material and commentaries were somehow privileged, for the simple reason of access. It is more easy to know about books and articles published recently than to look for informations on texts published many decades earlier or on original manuscripts located in various libraries throughout the world. Several titles listed hereafter are mentioned only for their historical value, as indications of some aspects of past studies. The major part of the bibliographical references shall constitute a representative selection of the present state of the research. I mentioned the publications in all languages (Arabic, English, French, German, Russian), published in Arabic and Islamic countries or in and North America. My commentaries tend to draw supplementary light on the references and to recommend some titles. The following bibliography is composed of 502 references. The whole is divided in seven sections: 1. Manuscripts: My aim in presenting this list of Arabic scientific primary sources is to provide, firstly, a concrete illustration of the value of the material which constitutes the scientific heritage in Arabic, and to show how it is disseminated throughout the world, secondly. For a more accurate picture on the original manuscripts, it is recommended to consult the specialized bio-bibliographical sources, such as Ibn al-Nadim, Brockelmann, Hajji Khalifa, King and others. 2. The bio-bibliographical sources constitute the subject of the second section, devoted to general works on systematics and the reference tools for the beginner as well as for the ; these sources are diverse in form as well as in range: catalogues of libraries, lists of manuscripts and printed books, Arabic classical writings and chronicles on bio-bibliography. Sections 3-6 are devoted respectively to: 3. Mathematics and Optics, 4. Astronomy, 5. Mechanics and Engineering, 6. Natural philosophy (essentially on the Aristotelian tradition developed in the Oriental as well as in Occidental lands of Islam, in , Damascus, Samarqand, Bukharra, Cordoba, Murrakush and Fez). 7. Finally, Section 7 concludes this bibliography by a list of references on the question of the transmission of scientific knowledge from Greek to Arabic and from Arabic to Latin, plus other miscellaneous references on different topics (natural sciences, classification of the sciences...)

Relying only on London Mss of Kitab fi 'l-qarastun, Jaouiche's work suffered from the neglect of other textual evidences, especially the one contained in Beirut Mss, which constituted the seminal part of Knorr's general reconstruction. 351.

Arabic text and translation of excerpts from al-Khazini's Book of the Balance of Wisdom. Khanikoff translated the text originally in French; when he sent his manuscript to the Journal of the American Oriental Society, the committee of publication ordered an English translation which was published finally, facing the Arabic text. The translation is in general inaccurate. Khanikoff's partial edition was performed on the basis of one Mss discovered in Iran and now deposited in Saint Petersbourg (Saltykov-Schedrin Public Library, Khanikoff collection, item n° 17). 353.

Brill, viii + 328 pp. of Arabic text, 2nd edition. Book of the Keys of Sciences, first edition in 1895 reproducing Arabic text with critical apparatus in Latin. Written towards the end of the Xth century, this treatise is a sort of encyclopedia of the sciences. Its 8th maqala (book) is devoted to the description of various mechanical devices and their components (the lever, the fulcrum, the pulley, the wedge, the screw and other machines). Each entry focuses first on the

I, 125) and a photocopy of Khanikoff's MS. Another incomplete MS was discovered in the Fourties in Jerusalem; it was transcribed and published in Cairo (1947). There exist variants of reading between all the existing manuscripts of al- Khazini's treatise and it seems that the Iranian MS, discovered and edited by Khanikoff is the oldest. Considerable parts of The Book of the Balance of Wisdom were published in Arabic and English in Khanikoff (1859); E. Wiedemann and T.

"selective transmission and transformations" (Dhanani on the similarity between Kalam atoms and Epicurean minimal parts), 3. "transmission and linguistic transformations" (Brentjes on the relevance of non-primary sources in the transmission of Euclid's Elements into Arabic and Kheirandish on the linguistic problems in the transmission of the Euclidean optics ), 4. "naturalization and cultural acceptance" (Berggren on the cultural environment of the Islamic acquisition of foreign sciences and King on the role of the and the muwaqqit in Islamic medieval society), 5. "naturalization and cultural resistance" (Feingold on the decline of the Arabic science in England in the XVIIth century), 6. "philosophical perspectives on transmission". 491. SABRA, A. I.
