The present book, originally the author’s doctoral dissertation entitled “Optics in Albert the Great’s De sensu et sensate, ostensibly a commentary on Aristotle’s treatise of the same title, and analyses his Muslim sources. It contains a new critical edition and translation of the Chapters 3 to 14 of De sensu et sensate, along with variant readings, explanatory notes, and introduction. In those twelve chapters, Albert mentions Ibn Sina (Avicenna) eight times, Ibn Rushd (Averroes) six times, Ibn al-Haytham (Huchaym) four times, al-Farabi (Alfarabius) four times, and al-Kindi (Jacob Alchindi) once. Since Albert borrowed ideas from Muslim philosophers and acknowledged his debt to them by citing their names, this study sheds some light on the interaction between Islamic civilization and Western civilization.
