The studies brought together in this second collection of articles
by Paul Kunitzsch continue the lines of research evident in his
previous volume (The Arabs and the Stars). The Arabic materials
discussed stem mostly from the early period of the development of
Arabic-Islamic astronomy up to about 1000AD, while the Latin
materials belong to the first stage of Western contact with Arabic
science at the end of the 10th century, and to the peak of
Arabic-Latin translation activity in 12th century Spain. The first
set of articles focuses upon Ptolemy in the Arabic-Latin tradition,
followed by further ones on Arabic astronomy and its reception in
the West; the final group looks at details of the transmission of
Euclid's Elements.
