Abstract
<jats:p>This work is not merely a museum catalog; it is also a guide to an immense repository that reveals the Islamic civilization's invaluable contributions to the world's scientific heritage. This study, with its concrete examples demonstrating how the foundations of modern science were laid in the Islamic world, serves as a powerful response to the Eurocentric understanding of history. The book focuses on the grand vision to which the distinguished scholar of science history, Prof. Dr. Fuat Sezgin, dedicated his life's work. Readers witness the founding story of the Istanbul Museum of the History of Science and Technology in Islam while discovering the fascinating story of works reproduced from original sources in many disciplines, from astronomy to medicine, mathematics to navigation. At the same time, it offers striking insights into how the scientific roots of the past should be brought together with the future. This work, which proves the Islamic civilization's role as the actual “founder” rather than the “carrier” of science with compelling information, documents, and visuals, also reveals the Renaissance's debt to this rich heritage. Prepared based on the principle that “science is the common language of civilizations,” this reference source brings together the immense accumulation of the past with the possibilities of the future, offering a new horizon for both scientists and all readers curious about the depths of history.</jats:p>
