Jahrhunderte bevor erste Automaten in Europa für Erstaunen sorgten, wurde ihre Technik in arabisch-islamischen Kulturen entwickelt: Bereits zwischen dem 9. und 13. Jahrhundert notierten arabische Gelehrte ihr durch die Übersetzung und Weiterentwicklung antiker Texte und Ideen erworbenes Wissen über Maschinen zur Lobpreisung Gottes des Allmächtigen. Die opulente Publikation stellt vier Meistermanuskripte des Automatenbaus vor: zwei Schriften der Banu Musa ibn Shakir aus der Mitte des 9. Jahrhunderts, eine des Ingenieurs Ibn al-Razzaz al-Jazari, die wohl um 1200 entstanden ist, sowie ein Manuskript des andalusischen Ingenieurs Ahmad ibn Khalaf al-Muradi aus dem 11. Jahrhundert.
Begleitende Essays rekonstruieren aus medienarchäologischer Perspektive die Entwicklung der muslimischen Automaten aus den Traditionen von Alexandria, Rom oder Byzanz und eröffnen Ausblicke auf ihre Weiterentwicklung in Europa.

Extremely comfortable, leather sole. Hard to find a style.
Size: 13.5-14.5 Women/12-13 Men, Color: Navy Blue, Size: 13.5-14.5 Women/12-13 Men, Color: Navy Blue
Totally worth the price. This type of style is very hard to find, my husband had another pair a few years ago that he was never able to replace. These fit his wide feet and are very comfortable. The elastic at the ankle is not too tight. So glad I was able to find him a replacement. We bought the blue in a size 12. Love the fact that they are washable.

Very comfortable Slippers. Great buy!
Size: 12-13 Women/10.5-11.5 Men, Color: Charcoal
I bought these to replace a pair of slippers that I have had for years that are very similar to the slippers I bought, but I had worn a hole in the leather on mine, so I had to find something new and similar. These slippers are worth the money they are very comfortable, and I am sure they will last for years. They are a little tight around the ankle cuff but they are still new and I am sure they will wear in a little more when I start wearing them more.

Great slippers but disappointing quality.
Size: 7.5-8.5 Women/6-7 Men, Color: Ash, Size: 7.5-8.5 Women/6-7 Men, Color: Ash
Extremely comfortable, attractive slippers but the stitching came loose on both leather trim areas almost immediately. I tried to sew/glue down the stitching (as seen in photo) but it kept unraveling. Disappointing as these slippers are great in every other way (though they do run a bit big...I wear a 9 but ended up with a 7.5-8.5 which fits with a bit of room to spare even with thick socks). I just hope they hold up after my latest attempt to stop the thread from pulling out any more as I do really love wearing them. Perhaps I just got a bum pair?

Very thin and comfortable. Wash well.
Very thin sock if that is what you are looking for. They stay up and wash well. There is a toe seam but you can position it out of the way
