Abstract

Al-Jazari and Leonardo da Vinci were two of the most noteworthy inventors and engineers of their respective time periods, the Islamic Golden Age that lasted from the VIII. to the XIII. century in the East, and the Renaissance that took place in Europe the XIV. to the XVII. centuries. Both were known for their exceptional talents and contributions to the fields of mechanics, automata, water-powered devices, and clockmaking. This work compares and contrasts their contributions to these fields; it will further explore the similarities and differences in their approaches to invention and innovation. In addition, although they lived at different times, it will also analyze whether da Vinci was directly or indirectly influenced by Al-Jazari's work, and whether there are similarities between the tools he used in his work with those of Al-Jazari.

DOĞU'NUN EL-CEZERİ'Sİ İLE BATI'NIN LEONARDO DA VİNCİ'Sİ ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ

Abstract

El-Cezeri ve Leonardo da Vinci, Doğu'da VIII. yüzyıldan XIII. yüzyıla kadar süren İslami Altın Çağ ve XIV. yüzyıldan XVII. yüzyıla kadar Avrupa'da gerçekleşen Rönesans olmak üzere kendi dönemlerinin en önemli mucit ve mühendislerinden ikisiydi. Her iki bilim insanı da olağanüstü yetenekleri ve mekanik, otomata, su ile çalışan cihazlar ve saat yapımı alanlarına katkılarıyla biliniyordu. Bu çalışma, bu alanlara yapmış oldukları katkılarını karşılaştırır. Ayrıca, bu çalışma buluş ve yeniliğe olan yaklaşımlarındaki benzerlikleri ve farklılıkları analiz edecektir. Birbirlerinden farklı zaman dilimlerinde yaşamalarına rağmen Leonardo da Vinci'nin Cezeri'nin eserlerinden doğrudan mı yoksa dolaylı olarak mı etkilendiği ve eserlerinde kullandığı araçlar arasında benzerlikler olup olmadığı incelenmiştir.
