Most of the men listed did their work in the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th centuries although some were later. In his book "The Discoverers" Daniel Boorstin suggests that the conflicts with the Christian west ended the translation of the work of Arab scholars into Latin and since the Arab world was late in adopting the printing press most discoveries made after then would have been poorly documented and could have been lost. Add to that the insularity of the Arab world and oppressive governments, and the environment necessary to foster science and discovery eventually died away.
