  • Thank You so much for uploading this Dr. George Saliba lecture. I heard of him on a BBC video on the History of Maths.

    I have not seen this video yet but am looking forward to it. I have known for years that the Islamic scholars of the past were the keeps of the great Greek tradition that all of us know to day. I was unaware of the amplification of mathematics that Arab scholars made to geometry. Wonderful to know. I wish that western man on the street was aware of this. Thanks Again

  • صلب means crucify as a verb in Arabic. There is a chance that his surname comes from the period of crusades in around Malta with the connotation to be understood as "people of the cross".
