Arabic-Speaking Christians: The Contribution of the Mozarabs to Scientific Life in Andalusia (Tenth Century)

Öz

The conquest of Andalusia by Muslims, brought about fundamental changes not only in the political map of the Iberian Peninsula but also in the sociocultural structure of the region. Muslims, Christians, and Jews continued their existence in tolerance and harmony in Andalusian society, which has a multi-religious and multicultural structure. Some Christians living in Andalusia had different characteristics from their other co-religionists in terms of their lifestyle. The Mozarabs, who emerged as a new community as a result of the daily contact of Muslims and Christians in the Iberian Peninsula, attract attention as an important group in the development of Islamic-Western relations in Medieval Europe. This community, which is deeply influenced by the Arabic language and Islamic culture, played a key role in the aforementioned cooperation process. This study examines the activities of the Mozarabs in the development process of sciences such as medicine, astronomy, theology and history in Andalusia in the 10th century, when Andalusia experienced the age of prosperity from a scientific point of view and the contributions of these activities to the scientific life in al-Andalus.

ARAPÇA KONUŞAN HIRİSTİYANLAR: MOZARAPLAR’IN ENDÜLÜS BİLİM HAYATINA KATKILARI (X. ASIR)

Öz

Endülüs’ün Müslümanlar tarafından fethi sadece İber Yarımadası’nın siyasi haritasında değil aynı zamanda bölgenin sosyokültürel yapısında köklü değişimleri beraberinde getirdi. Müslümanlar, Hıristiyanlar ve Yahudiler, çok dinli ve çok kültürlü Endülüs toplumunda hoşgörü ve uyum içerisinde varlıklarını sürdürdüler. Endülüs’teki bazı Hıristiyanlar hayat tarzları bakımından diğer dindaşlarından farklı özelliklere sahiplerdi. Müslümanlarla Hıristiyanların gündelik hayattaki temasları sonucunda yeni bir topluluk olarak ortaya çıkan Mozaraplar, Ortaçağ Avrupası’nda İslâm-Batı ilişkilerinin gelişiminde önemli bir grup olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Arap dili ve İslâm kültüründen derinden etkilenen bu topluluk, bahsi geçen birliktelik sürecinde kilit rol oynadı. Bu çalışma, Endülüs’ün ilmî yönden ikbal çağını yaşadığı X. asırda Mozaraplar’ın tıp, astronomi, teoloji ve tarih gibi bilimlerin gelişim sürecindeki faaliyetlerini ve bu faaliyetlerin Endülüs bilim hayatına katkılarını incelemektedir.
