Regarding the topics of culture and civilization of the Muslim nations, the role of the pre-Islamic civilizations in formation of the Muslims' civilization or the effective scientific centers in transferring the scientific heritage of the past to the Islamic world have often been discussed. Iranian, Greek, Indian, and Egyptian civilizations are the most important of these civilizations. To mention Iran scientific centers at the end of the Sassanid period, one could point out to Jondishapoor or Khorasan especially Nishaboor and Marv, Shahjan and some scientists emerged from these regions or from those immigrated to these places. The present study attends to the role of the Tabarestan scientists and its culturo-scientific environment in transferring knowledge from Sassanid period into Islamic civilization. It seems that Tabarestan was an active center in academic affairs during the early A.H. centuries in some fields such as medicine, astronomy, mathematic, and even Persian literature. Using various resources, reports, and historical documents, the present paper mentions some of the scientists of this area and then it will give an analysis of their scientific growth. Then, referring to their scientific effective evidences on the new scientific environment of Islam world, this paper attempts to investigate the role of Tabarestan in transferring knowledge from Sassanid period to the Islamic period. |
