Description :

In this rich and sweeping history, S. Frederick Starr tells the

fascinating but largely unknown story of Central Asia's

medieval enlightenment through the eventful lives and

astonishing accomplishments of its greatest minds remarkable

figures who built a bridge to the modern world. Because nearly

all of these figures wrote in Arabic, they were long assumed to

have been Arabs. In fact, they were from Central Asia drawn

from the Persianate and Turkic peoples of a region that today

extends from Kazakhstan southward through Afghanistan, and

from the easternmost province of Iran through Xinjiang, China.

Lost Enlightenment recounts how, between the years 800 and

1200, Central Asia led the world in trade and economic

development, the size and sophistication of its cities, the

refinement of its arts, and, above all, in the advancement of

knowledge in many fields. Central Asians achieved signal

breakthroughs in astronomy, mathematics, geology, medicine,

chemistry, music, social science, philosophy, and theology,

among other subjects. They gave algebra its name, calculated

the earth's diameter with unprecedented precision, wrote the

books that later defined European medicine, and penned some

of the world's greatest poetry. One scholar, working in

Afghanistan, even predicted the existence of North and South

America five centuries before Columbus. Rarely in history has

a more impressive group of polymaths appeared at one place

and time. No wonder that their writings influenced European

culture from the time of St. Thomas Aquinas down to the

scientific revolution, and had a similarly deep impact in India

and much of Asia. Lost Enlightenment chronicles this forgotten

age of achievement, seeks to explain its rise, and explores the

competing theories about the cause of its eventual demise.

Informed by the latest scholarship yet presented in a lively and


accessible style, this is a book that will surprise general

listeners and specialists alike. em em
