In the twelfth century, Arab sailors tried to cross the "Sea of Darkness" to the west. They heard news of the other side's riches and trusted their highly developed navigational skills. The Arabs were able to calculate latitude and longitude reliably decades before the Europeans, and they also drew accurate maps. Based on a number of illustrations, Suzanne Peleg sheds light on the Arab sciences related to astronomy, maritime navigation, cartography, and sailing, and highlights how the Europeans adopted this knowledge, After they were technically behind in these fields, and hid its Arab origins. This remarkable book by Peleg is based on the pioneering research of historian Fuat Sezgin, published here for the first time on a large scale.
