The prohibition of wine in Islam did not mean that wine was not produced or consumed or that Arab alchemists did not subject it to their distillation processes. Jabir ibn Hayyan described a cooling technique which can be applied to the distillation of alcohol. Some historians of chemistry and technology assumed that Arab chemists did not know the distillation of wine because these historians were not aware of the existence of Arabic texts to this effect. The purpose of this note is to present some Arabic texts about the production of alcohol from wine, starting with the eighth century.

    Mathematics Through the Middle Ages (320-1660AD)
    An idosyncratic essay by Paul Dickson for
    History of Mathematics 07305
    (University of South Australia, 1996)
    In the history of mathematics as a science there existed a so called 'Golden Age' centred in ancient Greece and the surrounding Mediterranean from about 600BC to 300AD, many advances were made and recorded in this time.
    Then there was the decline of the Dark (or early Middle) Ages that started with the sacking of Rome and the destruction of most of the knowledge contained therein. During this time much of the remaining knowledge of the ancient world was preserved by Byzantium, the rest lay scattered in small monasteries spread throughout Mediterranean Europe. In the period from 300AD to 1600AD there existed two major sub-divisions, the early Middle Ages, or Dark Ages, and the late Middle Ages, just before the Renaissance. In the early Middle Ages mathematics made no progress, but in the late Middle Ages there were a few advances and much of what had been forgotten from the ancient world was rediscovered and re-evaluated. In the late Middle Ages education was introduced in earnest by the Catholic Church and knowledge of these rediscovered techniques was spread to the common man. The early Middle Ages of Europe spanned nearly a millennia, from 300AD to 1100AD, and saw little advance made in the field of mathematics. The two major contributions of this time were firstly the translation of many Greek works into the language of the time, and the second was the implementation of formal schooling. Major advances in mathematics were a thing of the past, even the errors in ancient texts were taken as truths in mathematics of the time.

    69. The Arabic Connection
    The scribe adelard of bath (c10801142?) is thought to have either written amanuscript on chiromancy or to have translated one from Arabic into Latin.
    http://users.breathemail.net/chiro/chiro/arab.htm
    The Sources of European Chiromancy It is thought that many of the 'occult' sciences were introduced to the European mind around the middle of the twelfth century. Alchemy was introduced to Europe from Arabic culture around 1150, as was astrology, which was intimately bound up with the studies of what we now refer to as maths and physics - and was often even called mathematici at this time. It is quite likely therefore that chiromancy also came into Europe from the same source and at about the same time. Indeed, the influence of Arabic thought on European chiromancy is attested to by the claims of many mediaeval authors that both Averroes and Avicenna were authorities in the art. Avicenna (c980-1037) was a philosopher and a physician and contributed much to the development of mediaeval medicine as well as to alchemy and astrology. He in particular is often quoted as having written on chiromancy and it would be surprising if he knew nothing of the subject given its relation to astrology and mediaeval medicine. Averroes (c1126-1198) was an accomplished student of theology, mathematics and philosophy and is generally credited for the reintroduction of Aristotelian thought to the European mind. He has sometimes also been considered to be the one most likely to have revived palmistry in Europe. However, whilst both did indeed write on physiognomy, no chiromantical treatises survive from either of them. Perhaps we are dealing more with legend than with history here but, nevertheless, that does not undermine the considerable contribution made to the development of the European mind by these two individuals in particular and Arabic culture in general. Given the impact of Arabic culture at this time it would be surprising if the upsurge of interest in subjects like chiromancy did not have as its origin an Arabic source.

    72. Astronomy In The Quran - Jews For Allah

    http://jews-for-allah.org/Why-Believe-in-Allah/astronomy.htm
    ASTRONOMY Astronomy, in the real sense, started among the Arabs during the early period of the Abbasid Caliphate. It was much influenced by Sidhanta, a work in Sanskrit brought from India to Baghdad and translated into Arabic by Ibn Ibrahim al-Fazari and later on by Abu Musa Khwarizmi. Pahlavi tables (zij) compiled during the Sasanid period and Greek astronomical works translated during this period prepared the ground for Arabian astronomy. Ptolemy's Al-magest went into several translations in Arabicthe best being the one by Hajjaj Ibn Mater (827-28) and another by Humayun Ibn Ishaq, revised by Thabit bin Qurra (d/901). Khwarizmi has written a valuable treatise on astronomy and has compiled his own Tables (zij) which, after two centuries was revised by Spanish atronomer Majriti (011007) and was translated into Latin by Adelard of Bath. This formed the basis of later astronomical pursuits both in the East and the West and replaced all earlier tables of Greek and Indian astronomers. This table was also adopted in China. Mashallah and Ahmad bin Muhammad alNahavandi were the earliest Arab astronomers who flourished during the reign of Mansur, the second Abbasid Caliph. Mashallah was called the Phoenix of his age by Abul Faraj. He is distinguished for writing several valuable treatises on 'Astrolabe' the armillary sphere and the movements of heavenly bodies which have been acclaimed by later scientists. Ahmad compiled from his observations an astronomical table known as Al-Mustamal which registered an advance over earlier notions of the Greeks and Hindus.

    Adelhard (Adelard) of Bath - Give and take reason
    About a thousand years ago the Moors in Spain were in possession of a great deal of early Greek, Indian, and later Arabic, mathematics, but carefully guarded it from Europe. Many European scholars around 1100 began to seek out this Arabic knowledge. An English monk, Adelhard of Bath (c. 1090 - c. 1150) studied in Syria and southern Italy. About 1120, at considerable personal risk, Adelhard disguised himself as a Mohammedan student to attend lectures in Cordova . He managed to sneak out a copy of Euclid's Elements and in other ways helped bring Europe's mathematical Dark Age to an end. Now that's a real "cloak and dagger" story! Adelhard, at some risk, also set his reason against the authority of the Catholic Church. He is said to have said that he would not listen to those who are "led in a halter ... Wherefore if you want to hear anything from me, give and take reason." When studying mathematics it is well to remember how much we owe to the courageous, independent and inquiring intellects of scholars such as Adelhard of Bath. Bent E. Petersen - 1998

    Clercs Adelard de Bath (1080 - vers 1150)
    Moine bénédictin connu pour avoir été " le premier scientifique anglais", Adélard était, mathématicien, philosophe, traducteur aussi bien qu’astrologue et astronome. Il fit ses études à Tours et à Laon et voyagea en Grèce, en Italie et en Syrie à l’époque des Croisades. Adélard fut au service des rois Henri Ier et Etienne, dont il établit les horoscopes. Ses traductions d’Euclide et le rôle qu’il joua dans l’introduction en Angleterre de théories grecques et arabes en mathématiques - y compris le secret du chiffre zéro - eurent une grande influence.

    The origin of the word 'Algorithm'
    The word "algorithm" itself is quite interesting; at first glance it may look as though someone intended to write "logarithm" but jumbled up the first four letters. The word did not appear in Webster's New World Dictionary as late as 1957; we find only the older form "algorism" with its ancient meaning, i.e., the process of doing arithmetic using Arabic numerals. In the middle ages, abacists computed on the abacus and algorists computed by algorism. Following the middle ages, the origin of this word was in doubt, and early linguists attempted to guess at its derivation by making combinations like algiros [painful] + arithmos Kitab al jabr w'al'muqabala ("Rules of restoration and reduction"); another word, "algebra," stems from the title of his book, although the book wasn't really very algebraic. Gradually the form and meaning of "algorism" became corrupted; as explained by the Oxford English Dictionary, the word was "erroneously refashioned" by "learned confusion" with the word
