EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the intricate details of the Azarquiel Azafea, an Arabian astrolabe created between 1252 and 1253. The astrolabe, a scientific instrument used for solving astronomical problems, is currently housed in the Fabra Observatory in Barcelona, Spain. Its origins, however, can be traced back to Tunisia, North Africa. The image captures the upright, colorful interior of the astrolabe, revealing the African influence on medieval European astronomy. The interior is adorned with intricate geometric patterns and Arabic inscriptions, reflecting the rich cultural exchange between Africa and Europe during the Middle Ages. The astrolabe's back, shown in this photograph, is equally impressive, with its intricate design and fine craftsmanship. The circular disc, divided into two hemispheres, features a series of pointers and scales used for various astronomical calculations. The use of color adds depth and dimension to the photograph, making it a stunning representation of this historical artifact. The Tunisian influence on this astrolabe is evident in its design and inscriptions, highlighting the important role Tunisians and Africans played in the development of astronomy during this period. The photograph, taken in a vertical orientation, provides a unique perspective of this fascinating instrument, inviting viewers to explore its history and significance in the context of medieval European and African scientific achievements.
