SUMMARY:The Migrations of Islamic Science in Renaissance Europe
DESCRIPTION:The Renaissance is often seen as the result of Europeansâ€
 ™ re-engagement with the heritage of Classical Antiquity\, which Islam
 ic societies preserved during the Dark Ages.  Recent research has show
 n\, though\, that the science of Islamic societies from the twelfth th
 rough sixteenth centuries was crucial for Renaissance science. This le
 cture will describe this late medieval Islamic scientific culture and 
 the fascinating stories of how it reached Renaissance Europe\, often a
 s a by-product of economic activity and as a result of a quest for soc
 ial capital.  In fact\, European scholars in the later sixteenth centu
 ry and the seventeenth century continued to value the science of Islam
 ic societies\, even after European science had blossomed. Renaissance 
 science turns out to have more diverse foundations than previously tho
 ught.
