A Bridge to the Sky explores the close connections between science, arts, and visual culture as they developed in the medieval Islamic lands. It presents a significant study of the career of 'Abbas Ibn Firnas, (d. 887), the most celebrated 'scientist' and polymath of early Islamic Spain, best known for conducting an experiment that has been celebrated as a milestone in the history of human flight.
Glaire D. Anderson is an historian of Islamic arts and architecture during the age of the caliphs (650-1250), with a focus on Umayyad Córdoba and the arts of Islamic Iberia (Arabic al-Andalus). She is author of The Islamic Villa in Early Medieval Iberia: Aristocratic Estates and Court Culture in Umayyad Córdoba (2013), and co-editor of The Aghlabids and Their Neighbors (2018) and Revisiting al-Andalus: Perspectives on the Material Culture of Islamic Iberia and Beyond (2007).
