Abstract

The richly documented Routledge Handbook on the Sciences in Islamicate Societies makes an invaluable contribution to the study of the evolution of sciences, covering a huge historiographical gap in the history of science. The handbook examines an array of present approaches to the study of Islamicate theoretical and practical sciences by way of establishing rigorous perspectives on institutional novelties, source criticism, technical edge, and knowledge production, as well as socio-political shifts.
