In the 13th and 14th centuries, while Europe was still in the Middle Ages, Yemen's Rasulid dynasty fostered a stunning burst of scientific and cultural achievement. Ruling from Zabid and later Ta'izz, the Rasulid sultans—particularly al-Malik al-Muzaffar Yusuf I and al-Malik al-Ashraf Umar II—were not just patrons but active scholars. They wrote treatises on agriculture, astronomy, medicine, and horse breeding. Al-Ashraf compiled a comprehensive agricultural manual, the 'Milh al-Malih,' detailing irrigation techniques and crop rotation that would not be matched in Europe for centuries. The Rasulids also built observatories and sponsored the translation of Persian and Indian texts into Arabic. This episode explores how a dynasty that began as Ayyubid governors in the 13th century created a little-known golden age of learning, only for it to be eclipsed by the rise of the Tahirids and the later Ottoman presence. We'll focus on al-Ashraf's 'Book of the Sciences' and the vibrant intellectual life of 14th-century Yemen. #RasulidDynasty #Yemen #MedievalScience #AlAshrafUmarII #AlMuzaffarYusufI #Zabid #Taizz #IslamicGoldenAge #Agriculture #Astronomy #HistoryOfScience #MilhAlMalih #Ayyubid #YemeniHistory #FexingoHistory #Medieval #IndianOcean #Mamluk Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
