In On Both Sides of the Strait of Gibraltar Julio Samso studies the
history of medieval astronomy in al-Andalus (Muslim Spain), the
Maghrib and the Christian kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula. He
proves that the Arabic, Latin, Hebrew, Castilian and Catalan
sources belong to the same tradition whose origin can be dated in
the 11th century due to the changes in Ptolemy's astronomical
theory introduced by the Toledan astronomer Ibn
al-Zarqalluh/Azarquiel. The book also analyses the role of
al-Andalus and the Iberian Peninsula in the transmission of Islamic
astronomy to Europe and justifies the fact that Eastern Islamic
works published after ca. 950 CE were not accessible to medieval
European scholars because they had not reached al-Andalus.
