The role of the giunti publishing house in dissemination of works of medieval eastern scholars in europe (On the example of "Al-Qanun Fit-Tib" by Abu Ali Ibn Sina)

In the article based on the careful analysis of the scientific literature devoted to history of the publishing in Medieval Europe, highlighted the role of the Giunti Publishing House, located in Venice, in the publishing industry of Europe and dissemination of works of medieval eastern scholars in Europe.Researchers conducted by historians of science shows that the rise of science and culture in Europe in the 15th-17th centuries was in many ways closely linked with the Eastern Renaissance in the 9th-12th centuries. In the close acquaintance of Europeans with the scientific heritage of medieval Eastern scholars, the role of many publishing houses across the continent, which emerged in 1445 after the discovery of a printing press by Johann Guttenberg in Mainz, Germany, was incomparable [14, p. 12].
