Publisher's Synopsis
This volume focuses on the development of astronomy in al-Andalus, Islamic Spain, relating it to the astronomical science of the Latin West. Both Islamic and European science survived the Latin astronomical tradition after the Arab conquest of 711 and then the influence of Arabic science in Christian Spain.;These articles underline some of the features of the astronomy of al-Andalus, compared with that of eastern Islam, notably in areas such as trepidation, solar theory and homocentricity. Seven of these studies are in Spanish; 13 are in English.
