Lecture: Christian-Muslim Entanglements in Arabic Occultism - Paul Ferguson - 04-27-2026
"Historians have long been aware of the transmission of Arabic occult knowledge to the world of Latin Christendom. Far less well understood, however, are the encounters between Islam and Christianity within the domain of occult science inside the medieval Islamicate world itself...Focusing on alchemical writings, this paper argues that these topos-laden narratives reveal little about the actual historical transmission of the occult sciences. Instead, they speak volumes about how Muslim authors imagined their diffusion in Islamicate lands"
