Cross-Cultural Scientific Exchanges in the Eastern Mediterranean
This Book explores cross-cultural scientific exchanges in the Eastern Mediterranean between 1560 and 1660, focusing on the interactions between European and Ottoman scholars. The research examines the transmission of scientific knowledge, including astronomy and cosmology, through various channels such as manuscript exchange, the movement of captive scholars, and diplomatic gifts. It highlights the role of individuals like Taqī al-Dīn and Tycho Brahe, and analyzes how apocalyptic beliefs influenced scientific pursuits in both cultures. The study further investigates the involvement of Jewish scholars as intermediaries in these exchanges and how discussions of Copernican cosmology intersected with biblical interpretations and the search for ancient texts. Finally, it reveals the impact of these exchanges on the development of scientific thought and practices in both the East and the West.
