The Egyptian General Book Authority, headed by Dr. Ahmed Bahi El -Din Al -Asasi, within the series of cultural heritage, published the book “The Mosque between Science and Acts in the Manufacture of Tricks” Classification of Abi Al -Ezz bin Ismail Al -Jazari, by Dr. Ahmed Youssef Al -Hassan, the study of Al -Katour Hafez Shams Al -Din Abdel -Wahab, The fees for the artist Ahmed Al -Janaini.
The Al -Jazari book, “The Combined between Science and Acting in the Manufacture of Tricks”, is considered one of the first books that the Arab Scientific Heritage Institute has to achieve, and this work was presented in early 1976 and the investigation took more than three years.
The book is one of the most important books of Arab mechanical engineering, if not the most important of them, and it is now published within the series of the history of Arab technology issued by the institute, and this series is one of several chains that constitute a group of “sources and studies in the history of Arab Islamic sciences” issued by the institute.
The first book in this series was the book Taqi al -Din and the Arabic Mechanical Engineering, which also included the manuscript of the Sunni roads in spiritual machines, and the publication of the series of sources and studies in the history of Arabic technology in Arabic and English will be published so that researchers with time become sufficient ammunition that enables them to write a history Arab technology; It is a subject that was unknown to historians of Arab civilization in general.
The family of the Arab Scientific Heritage Institute contributed to the completion of this work: in copying the manuscripts, comparing their texts, in drawing drawings, creating indexes and dictionary, and in supervising the printing and correcting the lieutenant, and directing the color images, but the basic work was an engineering scientific work, and it was necessary to read The texts and the analysis of the fees are many times in order to understand the complex accurate machines and achieve the texts in order to straighten the meanings and annotations, and the effort in the investigation of what is made in writing a modern book in mechanical engineering did not say, and from here we can say that this Arab text achieved in terms of engineering aspect is presented to researchers for the first time a book Al -Jazari is complete and enriches them from returning to the various manuscripts and intention towards the release of another book in this series that analyzes the Al -Jazari book detailed, discusses Arab technological methods and sheds light on some mystery that sometimes caused by translation from the Oxford version.
