In this episode of Houghton75, we speak to Elaheh Kheirandish, Postdoctoral Associate of the Department of History of Art and Architecture at Harvard. For our current exhibition, she has chosen a copy of Alhazen’s Optics in Latin from 1572. She’ll delve into some of Alhazen’s importance to the science of Optics, and his place in the creation and transmission of scientific learning through the Islamic world and to the west.
