Arabic in Cards

Arabic in the Sciences

Scientific books in Arabic, and what they did to Europe's sciences and universities.

45 cards
al-Jabr wa-l-Muqābala (Algebra) On Indian Reckoning Elements of Astronomy

Why these cards?

A selection, not a full list, of what Europe took from Arabic: books whose translation and influence historians of science document – each card says what the book did once translated.
