Tunisian Mizwala-s in Their Islamic Context

Fathi Jarray

The Islamic sundial, mizwala from the Arabic word zawâl (noon), is a plaque of marble or sandstone, often placed on a built structure and oriented towards the sun. Despite our elementary knowledge about the history of this astronomical instrument, we are able today to know its main characteristics and its evolution throughout the history in the Islamic World, and to understand the specificities of the corpus of each country, such as Tunisia which was a propitious area for development in the sciences like astronomy and gnomonic which led us to talk about the “Tunisian phase in Islamic Gnomonic”.


Keywords: Tunisia, sundials, astronomy

İslamî Bağlamları İçerisinde Tunus Mizveleleri

Fathi Jarray

İslamî güneş saati, Arapça zevâl (ay) kökeninden türetilmiş olan Mizvele, genellikle güneşe doğru yönlenmiş bir yapıya yerleştirilmiş mermer veya kumtaşından yapılan plakalardır. Söz konusu astronomik aracın geçmişi konusunda başlangıç seviyesi olarak addedilebilecek düzeyde bilgimiz bulunmasına karşın günümüzde güneş saatlerinin İslam tarihindeki gelişimi ve karakteristik yapılarını anlayabilecek durumdayız. Nitekim elimizde bulunan bilgiler, astronomi ve nomonik vb. disiplinler açısından cömert bir ortam sağlayan Tunus gibi İslam dünyasındaki farklı ülkelerdeki özelliklerini ortaya koyabilmemizi ve bu çalışmanın temel konusunu oluşturan “İslami nomoniğin Tunus aşaması” hakkında değerlendirme yapabilmemizi sağlamaktadır


Keywords: Tunus, güneş saatleri, astronomi
