Abstract
Al-Jazari and Leonardo da Vinci were two of the most noteworthy inventors and engineers of their respective time periods, the Islamic Golden Age that lasted from the VIII. to the XIII. century in the East, and the Renaissance that took place in Europe the XIV. to the XVII. centuries. Both were known for their exceptional talents and contributions to the fields of mechanics, automata, water-powered devices, and clockmaking. This work compares and contrasts their contributions to these fields; it will further explore the similarities and differences in their approaches to invention and innovation. In addition, although they lived at different times, it will also analyze whether da Vinci was directly or indirectly influenced by Al-Jazari's work, and whether there are similarities between the tools he used in his work with those of Al-Jazari.
