Abstract
Greek science combined the water clock with mechanical devices. The clocks and clepsydras of Antiquity and the Byzantines were adapted by the Muslims for their liturgical rituals. In al-Andalus the Emir Muhammad I had a minkan built in Córdoba. In eleventh-century Toledo al-Muradi studied a series of clocks. During the twelfth and thirteenth centuries the main Muslim artificers and writers of treatises were al-Jazini, Ridwan and al-yazari. The clocks of Fez and Tremecén were perhaps the direct antecedents of the minkan nasrid described by Ibn al-Jatib in 1362.
