Timeline
George Saliba (Arabic: جورج صليبا) is an American historian who is Professor of Arabic and Islamic Science at the Department of Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies, Columbia University, New York, where he has been since 1979.
Saliba is currently the founding director of the Farouk Jabre Center for Arabic & Islamic Science & Philosophy and the Jabre-Khwarizmi Chair in the History Department.
Saliba received a bachelors and master's degree in mathematics from the American University of Beirut.
After, he received a master of science degree in Semitic languages and a doctorate in Islamic sciences from the University of California at Berkeley.
Saliba has been at Columbia University since 1979.
He studies the development of scientific ideas from late antiquity till early modern times, with a special focus on the various planetary theories that were developed within the Islamic civilization and the impact of such theories on early European astronomy.
He uncovered pathways of transmission of Islamic astronomy to Renaissance Europe.
The main thrust of his research has been the connections between Islamic astronomers and Copernicus.
His book Islamic Science and the Making of the European Renaissance has been published in multiple languages including Arabic, English, and Turkish.
Saliba has won the History of Science Prize given by the Third World Academy of Science in 1993, and the History of Astronomy Prize in 1996 from the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Science.
Saliba was one of the professors named in the 2004 Columbia Unbecoming controversy as allegedly being intimidating or unfair to students with pro-Israel views.
A student of his, Lindsay Shrier, claimed that he told her that those with Green Eyes (like herself) are not racial "Semites", and have no valid national claim to Middle Eastern lands.
Saliba claims that this is a fabrication.
Saliba rejected the accusation and published a rebuttal in Columbia Spectator on 3 November 2004 to that effect.
In 2005 he was named as a Senior Distinguished Scholar at the John W. Kluge Center.
