Bibliography of the Sciences in Islamic Civilization

Abstract

This item presents a subject bibliography of the sciences in Islamic civilization, bringing together a wide range of Arabic and translated references related to the history of science among Arabs and Muslims and to the contributions of Islamic civilization in medicine, philosophy, mathematics, natural sciences, and auxiliary fields. The bibliography includes general sources on the history of science and Islamic civilization, then devotes sections to references on the history of medicine and related sciences, pioneering physicians, biographical and historical works on medicine and philosophy, journal articles, research papers, and miscellaneous relevant sources. It reveals the breadth of intellectual production concerned with Arab-Islamic scientific heritage and highlights the importance of bibliographic control in making such material accessible to researchers and students. The bibliography serves as a useful tool for studying the history of scientific knowledge in Islam, tracing scientific themes in Arabic works, translated literature, and modern studies that reassess Muslim scholars’ contributions to human civilization.
