Art and Scientific skills

 Hello, everyone. Today, I write about Islamic art and scientific skills. You may surprise if you know art and science of Islam in middle age. Muslim had specific skills. It has very characteristic points. I will introduce to you about that.

 1. What is arabesque?

  Arabesque is the one of the Islamic art style which is drowing on the wall of the mosque. It ordinary means only plant pattern, but in broad sence, it also means animal pattern, geometry pattern, and word pattern. Arabesque rebeals the charactetristic points of Islam art. In Islam doctorine, idolatry is not allowed. It is limitted and fomal, however, these make arabesque so beautiful. It is not able to express the world of Islam god by realistic expression, but the arabesque only can do that.
 These arabesque patterns are not only drawed on Koran or books but also carved on mosque or palace.
 The arabesque as the plane decoration is used in Islam construction which ischaracterristic solid platic art. In this construction, it plays very important roles. In other word, it is the main point that effected on christian art in europe. However, in the Islam world, religious and theological significance is not still taken up in formal study. This shows originality of Islam art.
 In Islam arts, at the time of expressing world of Islam god, word patterns shows holiness and sublime, geometry patterns shows eternity and profundity, plant patterns shows providence and mercy of god , animal patterns shows friendliness and wishes for hapiness.

2. Medical skills.

  Medical study is the main point of Islam culture of middle age. The medical researchers in Islam world connected midical theory and actual application. As the result, they publshed many great medical books.
 Medical skills of Islam were based on the theory and practice that developed in ancient Greek, ancient Roma, and ancient Persian. The muslim reserchers respected the medical reserchers of ancient Roma. They translated many medical books which written by ancient Greek reseachers  into Arabic. To do this, they could get the new knowledge and create the new medical skills. They also wanted to create the new medical systems and medical books gathering the skills and knowledge based on the ancient Greek and Roma.
 In the middle age, the European reserchers did not tend to learn the language which is used by pagans. Therefore, the time they could get to know the medical skills was in 1200. Surprisingly, they used the medical books translated in arabic by muslim researchers." The canon of medicine" (systematic medical book) published by Avicenna was translated into Latin and read in wide Europe. It was copied many times.
 In middle age of Islam world, the hospitals were constructed in every huge cities.

3. Conclusion.

 In middle age, surprisingly there were the art skills and scientific skills. Islam had the high civilization. Espesially, medical skills affected the Euporean Civilization!
