The Routledge Handbook on the Sciences in Islamicate Societies
provides a comprehensive survey on science in the Islamic world
from the 8th to the 19th century. Across six sections, a group of
subject experts discuss and analyze scientific practices across a
wide range of Islamicate societies. The authors take into
consideration several contexts in which science was practiced,
ranging from intellectual traditions and persuasions to
institutions, such as courts, schools, hospitals, and
observatories, to the materiality of scientific practices,
including the arts and craftsmanship. Chapters also devote
attention to scientific practices of minority communities in Muslim
majority societies, and Muslim minority groups in societies outside
the Islamicate world, thereby allowing readers to better understand
the opportunities and constraints of scientific practices under
varying local conditions. Through replacing Islam with Islamicate
societies, the book opens up ways to explain similarities and
differences between diverse societies ruled by Muslim dynasties.
This handbook will be an invaluable resource for both established
academics and students looking for an introduction to the field. It
will appeal to those involved in the study of the history of
science, the history of ideas, intellectual history, social or
cultural history, Islamic studies, Middle East and African studies
including history, and studies of Muslim communities in Europe and
South and East Asia.
