课程名称：阿拉伯与伊斯兰文明的科技 课程概述：本课程深入探讨中世纪伊斯兰文明的机械工程及其所达到的高水平文化，这一文化在拉丁西方成为了追求的固定星辰。我们将学习水和风的设备如何推动古代灌溉、农作物耕种、磨坊的动力源以及个人卫生的进步，尤其是在七世纪后，伊斯兰教在阿拉伯半岛及东罗马帝国的逐渐扩展中，洗净仪式在日常祷告前变得尤为重要。课程追溯这些设备的历史，探讨其早在中世纪之前的起源，特别是古代萨巴人文明的高度发展，以及其后在罗马时代的希木亚王国下的进步。在该地区的文化积淀被传承至阿巴斯王朝后，我们看到中世纪阿拉伯和波斯思想家在科学著作中引领机械技术的复兴。本讲座将贯穿历史，分析那些支持阿拉伯与伊斯兰文明黄金时代的设备和系统，探讨其如何从阿拉伯半岛扩展到整个东罗马帝国，包括北非、两河流域及更广区域。
A great deal has been written on the mechanical engineering of Medieval Islamic civilizations and the high level of culture achieved which went on to become a fixed star of aspiration for the Latin West. Water and wind devices allowed for ancient refinements in irrigation, crop cultivation, power sources for mills and the water required for not only a healthy personal hygiene but also, with Islam broadly established after the seventh century in the Arabian Peninsula and increasingly into the Eastern Roman Empire's shrinking borders, the ritual ablution necessary before the daily regimen of prayers. However, the history of these devices and goes back true ages before the Medieval Period to the earliest and most advanced civilization on the Arabian Peninsula, that of the Sabaeans, before subsequent developments under the Himyarite kings of Roman-Era antiquity brought it to a state of development, a "cultural packet" we might call it from an anthropological point of view, that was then passed on to the Abbasid Caliphate, where we see mechanical technology undergo a Renaissance in the presciently scientific writings of Medieval Arab and Persian thinkers. This lecture is going to chart that course through history with a look at the devices and systems which supported a true Golden Age in the Arabian and Islamic civilizations centered on the Arabian Peninsula which would eventually encompass much of the Eastern Roman Empire from North Africa to Mesopotamia and beyond.
