Alhacen's Optics: A Translation and Annotation of an Important Work of 13th C. Islamic Science

导言：PI计划整理、编辑、翻译和注释阿尔哈森的拉丁版本的最后一本书，第七册，从而提供13世纪一部关键科学著作的完整版本。在中世纪和早期现代欧洲历史中，目前正在进行的一些最重要和最有趣的工作涉及视觉和视觉的历史。要使这项工作继续下去并蓬勃发展，获得优质的主要原始材料版本至关重要。阿尔哈森的光学论文就是这样一个来源，从很多方面来说，都是一个必不可少的来源。在13世纪出现在欧洲的几十年内，阿尔哈辛的视觉理论已经形成了关于视觉、认识论和认识论的神学和科学态度。阿尔哈森思想的痕迹不仅可以在各种学术著作中找到，甚至可以在宗教著作、布道手册和虔诚的论文中找到。最后，似乎毫无疑问的是，阿尔哈辛的思想直接或通过总结他的思想的学院派思想家影响了人们对艺术和艺术创作的态度。智力上的价值：这部13世纪早期的著作对于理解伊斯兰科学以及欧洲自然哲学的一些创新思想在多大程度上归功于这些伊斯兰来源是非常重要的。广泛的影响：虽然这是一部非常博学的学术著作，但它将被证明对国际科学史、伊斯兰科学和中世纪研究界具有无价的价值；因此，它确实具有相对广泛的学术影响(根据背景)。

Introduction: The PI plans to collate, edit, translate, and annotate the final book, Book 7, of the Latin version of Alhacen's Opticsis, thereby offering to make available a complete edition of a critical scientific work from the 13th century. Some of the most important and interesting work currently being done in medieval and early modern European history concerns the history of vision and visuality. For this work to continue and flourish, access to good editions of primary source material is essential. Alhacen's optical treatise is one such source, in many ways, an essential source. Within decades of its appearance in Europe in the 13th century, Alhacen's theory of vision had come to shape a theological and scientific attitudes about vision, epistemology and cognition. Traces of Alhacen's ideas can be found not only in all manner of scholastic writings, but even in religious works, in preaching handbooks and devotional treatises. Finally, there seems little doubt that Alhacen's ideas directly or through scholastic thinkers who summarized his ideas, influenced attitudes about art and artistic production.Intellectual Merit: This early 13th century work is very important for understanding Islamic science, as well as the extent to which European natural philosophy owed some of its innovative ideas to these Islamic sources. It will be an invaluable resource, internationally, and for many years to come.Broader Impact: Although this is a very erudite scholarly production, it nevertheless will prove to be invaluable to the international history of science, Islamic science, and medieval studies communities; so, it does have a relatively broad (given the context) scholarly impact.
