Ibn al-Haytham’s scientific method:
The two medieval European scholars who were actually the main predecessors of Galilee are Robert Grosseteste (d.1253), and Roger Bacon (d.1294).
Robert Grosseteste was the teacher of Roger Bacon, whose sources for optics were Euclid, Ibn Sina’s Al- Qānūn, and al–Kindī’s Optics: Libre de aspectibus, the Arabic text of which is not extant. The Latin translation by the Spanish Gerard of Cremona was carried out in the 12th c. Robert propounded his theory of falsification of causes , i.e. experimental proof of testing rival hypotheses or mathematical models.
Roger Bacon’s main scientific work was in optics, with the title Opus Maius , and in the sixth chapter of which Roger exemplified the Scientia Experimentalis, i.e., his theory of science and scientific method. His sources were al–Kindi (d. ca.873) , Ibn Sīnā, Ibn al–Haytham , Ibn Rushd (d. 1198). According to Crombie (Robert Grossteste, and the Origins of Experimental Science, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1953), “ Ibn al-Haytham’s few optical writings were translated anonymously [already] at the end of the 12th / beginning of the 13th century”.
