In the Western Islamic world science was widespread and effectively practiced, but who funded it and why? By exploring those Arabic sources (chronicles and biographic dictionaries) which might shed light on these questions, this paper will try to map the patronage of the sciences and, ultimately, to place the practice of science in its social context.
