“It is necessary that the work of the engineer corresponds to theory; if not, it is unreliable. The combination of theoretical knowledge and practice is like a soul in a body; theory without practice is like a spirit suspended in the air.”
— al-Jazarī, Introduction (Donald R. Hill translation, 1974, p. 4)
