The chief argument of this book, first published in 1990, is that
Ibn al-Haytham's On the Configuration of the World is a
non-technical expose of basic astronomical teachings: it was
written in particular for those whose main interests were in the
areas of philosophy and natural science and who, accordingly, had
an interest in relating the mathematical devices employed by
professional astronomers to the heavenly bodies mentioned in the
philosophical literature. However, the primary reason for this
publication is not the advancement of this thesis, but rather the
presentation of the medieval texts themselves, normally so
inaccessible to scholars and students alike.
