Description

Johnson Reprint Corp. 1972 Facsimile reprint of the 1572 Risner Edition (in Latin) of the great work on optics by the Muslim scientist, mathematician, astronomer and philosopher Alhazen (also known as al-Basri, or Abu Ali al-Hasan ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Haitham). He was born in Basra about 965 AD. The edition includes all original diagrams and drawings. David C. Lindberg provides a historical perspective on Alhazen's theories and their influence on the optical works of Roger Bacon, John Pecham and Witelo. He also provides information on Manuscripts and Editions of Alhazen and Witelo's Perspectiva.
