Abstract

This is a review of evidential ideas that appear in the Muqadimmah and India, Medieval Arabic works. The ideas concern numerical evidence, its collection, distortion, analysis, and interpretation, and its use in making statements about change and cause. Potential mistakes in educing the ideas from such translated texts are discussed briefly. Erudite attention to the topic is encouraged in the interest of understanding early parallels to contemporary evaluation problems.
