This chapter explores the history of Arabic science in Andalusia, Spain. During the tenth century Andalusian science reached a productive level and certain Andalusian men of science acquired a reputation even in the East: an obvious example is Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi, and another is Maslama al-Majriti. The standard of Andalusian science increased considerably after the political crisis of 1031, which did not lead to a cultural crisis: three scientific centres of the greatest importance sprang up in Saragossa, Toledo and Seville. One of the most remarkable characteristics of the eleventh century is the development of mathematics, due especially to the work of three key figures: King Yusuf al-Mu'taman of the ta'ifa of Saragossa; the mathematician Ibn Sayyid, master of the great philosopher Ibn Bajja, who wrote his works in Valencia between 1087 and 1096; and the faqih and astronomer Ibn Mu'adh. |
