Aminullai, Ahmad Rufai
Abstract
This study investigated the imperative of safeguarding innovation heritage by focusing on the preservation of medieval science and technology conveyed through the Arabic language. Recognizing the pivotal role of Arabic as a carrier of scientific knowledge during the medieval period, the research shed light on the potential loss of invaluable insights if not adequately preserved. The methodology involves a qualitative examination of medieval Arabic manuscripts, employing linguistic and historical analyses to unveil the intricate interplay between language, science, and technology. By elucidating the significance of this linguistic heritage, the study advocates for proactive measures to ensure the sustained conservation and accessibility of medieval scientific and technological contributions embedded in the Arabic language.
