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

简介：PI计划整理，编辑，翻译和注释最后一本书，第七卷，拉丁版阿尔哈森的光学，从而提供13世纪重要科学著作的完整版本。在中世纪和早期现代欧洲历史上，一些最重要和最有趣的工作都与视觉和视觉性的历史有关。为了使这项工作继续并蓬勃发展，获得原始资料的良好版本至关重要。阿尔哈森的光学论文就是这样一个来源，在很多方面，是一个重要的来源。在13世纪出现在欧洲的几十年里，阿尔哈森的视觉理论已经形成了一种关于视觉、认识论和认知的神学和科学态度。阿尔哈森思想的痕迹不仅可以在各种各样的学术著作中找到，甚至在宗教作品中，在说教手册和虔诚的论文中也能找到。最后，毫无疑问，阿尔哈森的思想直接或通过总结他的思想的学术思想家，影响了人们对艺术和艺术生产的态度。知识价值：这本13世纪早期的著作对于理解伊斯兰科学，以及欧洲自然哲学在一定程度上将其一些创新思想归功于这些伊斯兰来源，是非常重要的。无论在国际上，还是在未来的许多年里，它都将是一项宝贵的资源。更广泛的影响：虽然这是一本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是无价的；因此，它确实具有相对广泛的学术影响（考虑到上下文）。

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.
