CHAPTER VII.
EUCLID IN ARABIA.
We are told by [Hnull]ājī Khalfa that the Caliph al-Mansūr (754-775) sent a mission to the Byzantine Emperor as the result of which he obtained from him a copy of Euclid among other Greek books, and again that the Caliph al-Ma'mūn (813-833) obtained manuscripts of Euclid, among others, from the Byzantines. The version of the Elements by al-[Hnull]ajjāj b. Yūsuf b. Matar is, if not the very first, at least one of the first books translated from the Greek into Arabic . According to the Fihrist it was translated by al-[Hnull]ajjāj twice; the first translation was known as “Hārūni” (“for Hārūn”), the second bore the name “Ma'mūni” (“for al-Ma'mūn”) and was the more trustworthy. Six Books of the second of these versions survive in a Leiden MS. (Codex Leidensis 399, 1) now in part published by Besthorn and Heiberg . In the preface to this MS. it is stated that, in the reign of Hārūn ar-Rashīd (786-809), al-[Hnull]ajjāj was commanded by Ya[hnull]yā b. Khālid b. Barmak to translate the book into Arabic. Then, when al-Ma'mūn became Caliph, as he was devoted to learning, al-[Hnull]ajjāj saw that he would secure the favour of al-Ma'mūn “if he illustrated and expounded this book and reduced it to smaller dimensions. He accordingly left out the superfluities, filled up the gaps, corrected or removed the errors, until he had gone through the book and reduced it, when corrected and explained, to smaller dimensions, as in this copy, but without altering the substance, for the use of men endowed with ability and devoted to learning, the earlier edition being left in the hands of readers.”

George FitzGerald was a brilliant mathematical physicist who today he is known by most scientists as one of the proposers of the FitzGerald-Lorentz contraction in the theory of relativity. However, this suggestion by FitzGerald, as we shall see below, was not in the area in which he undertook most of his research, and he would certainly not have rated this his greatest contribution. George FitzGerald's parents were William FitzGerald and Anne Frances Stoney. His father William was a minister in the Irish Protestant Church and rector of St Ann's Dublin at the time of George's birth. William, although having no scientific interests himself, was an intellectual who went on to become Bishop of Cork and later Bishop of Killaloe. It seems that George's later interest in metaphysics came from his father's side of the family. George's mother was the daughter of George Stoney from Birr in King's County and she was also from an intellectual family. George Johnstone Stoney, who was Anne's brother, was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London and George FitzGerald's liking for mathematics and physics seems to have come mainly from his mother's side of the family. William and Anne had three sons, George being the middle of the three. Maurice FitzGerald, one of George's two brothers, also went on to achieve academic success in the sciences, becoming Professor of Engineering at Queen's College Belfast. George's schooling was at home where, together with his brothers and sisters, he was tutored by M A Boole, who was George

24. The Magic Of Nines
This test was invented by arabian mathematicians in the 8th century, that makesthis relatively new compared to other mathematics (Eg ancient Greece Egypt).
http://home.c2i.net/greaker/comenius/prepare/9798/nine_2.htm
THE MAGIC OF NINES Written by Espen Hænes Kristiansen, Magnus Kristiansen and Øystein Myksvoll Lande Through the history of mathematics it has been claimed that the number nine has some mysterious properties. To Joe Public this may seem pretty absurd. Magical possibilities is something we link to David Copperfield, and not a number. There are probably several reasons why the number 9 has earned this reputation. Here we will deal with two of them. These are practical examples of what you can use the number 9 to. The examples we will work with is called "The test of nines" and "The table of nines". "THE TABLE OF NINES" First we will show you the table of nines (multiplication), which has this special look: When we look at this table we can see the construction of it is very simple. The last number in every number is the counting from 9-0. The next number goes from 0-9 and so on. The third number also goes from 0-9, but this time each number is used 10 times. Using this technique it is possible to find all the numbers in the table of nines without calculating them. This is what is called the "beautiful table of nines". But is this special for the number 9, what about other numbers? Here are some other tables: From these results it is possible to make different conclusions. The table of nines is special, and its table is built in a very simple way. But at the same time several other numbers makes special multiplication tables. The number nine is special, but can we call it magic? In our eyes, no.

When in Artois to fall a star in beard
show books on Line 1 - Au chef Anglois a Nimes trop sejour It is noteworthy that roy d'Angolmois = king of Angolmois, is very similar to au chef Anglois = to the English chief. Perhaps Angolmois is Anglois moi = English me. 'The chief English in Nimes' is the word 'mine' or 'me'. Nostradamus (me) in English = Our Lady. Nimes is a port on the Mediterranean. There is a town of Salon very near Nimes, so if one journeyed too far past Salon they'd find Nimes. (N lived in Salon). Is he referring to himself? Or aid from Our Lady? Is it he who will return, as hinted by the events and astrology surrounding the opening of his grave in 1700? (he had foreseen this 145 years earlier and the skeleton had a medallion with 1700 engraved on it!). That is, thru his quatrains? See Nostra Domus in line 4 below. The Nimes reference must also figure in WWII.

ROGER BACON: AN APPRECIATION
IT has been said that "a prophet is not without honour,
save in his own country." Thereto might be added, "and in
his own time"; for, whilst there is continuity in time,
there is also evolution, and England of to-day, for instance,
is not the same country as England of the Middle Ages. In his own day ROGER BACON was accounted a magician, whose heretical views called for suppression by the Church. And for many a long day afterwards was he mainly remembered as a co-worker in the black art with Friar BUNGAY, who together with him constructed, by the aid of the devil and diabolical rites, a brazen head which should possess the power of speechthe experiment only failing through the negligence of an assistant.[1] Such was ROGER BACON in the memory of the later Middle Ages and many succeeding years;

This book is a completely revised version of the author's former title, Miracle of Islamic Science.
Did you know that Muslims invented eyeglasses? Or that Muslims were far more advanced in knowledge in mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, physics, trigonometry, geology, and modern medicine than their LATER western counterparts? (Later by hundreds of years in some instances).
The superlative achievements of the shining stars in Islamic academic circles is little known to the world, indeed even including Muslims themselves. Muslims know some odd facts or two, such as algebra comes from al-jabr, but this is the tip of the iceberg in the overall contributions Muslims have played in the diffusion of knowledge and practice in the world today.
This much-needed book fills the void, and educates of the expansive contributions made by scholars past. A tradition, perhaps now devoid and lacking in today's Islamic world, thrived in the years of our Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) and the following generations, producing boundary-less repositories of useful knowledge and erudition.
Below find a brief excerpt:
Setting the Record Straight: The Miracle of Islamic Science
The concept that the sciences are exclusively the products of Western minds remains unquestioned by most individuals. A review of any of the standard texts or encyclopedias regarding the history of science would support this view. As these books are perused, it becomes evident that the only contributors given significant mention are Europeans and/or Americans. It is hardly necessary to repeat the oft-mentioned names: Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler, Bacon, Newton, Da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, etc. The unavoidable conclusion is that major contributions to the development of the modern sciences by other cultures is minimal. Most texts give little or no mention of the advancements made by ancient Indian, Chinese or, particularly, Muslim scholars.

34. Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci
for two centuries anticipated of the WestEuropean mathematicians of his time. Fibonaccigot the mathematical education in the arabian educational institutions
http://www.goldenmuseum.com/0401Fibonacci_engl.html
Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci The "Middle Ages" in our consciousness associate with the concept of inquisition orgy, campfires, on which witches and heretics are incinerated, and crusades for "the body of God". The science in those times obviously was not "in a center of society attention". In these conditions appearance of the mathematical book "Liber abaci" ("the book about an abacus"), written in 1202 by the Italian mathematician Leonardo Pisano (by the nickname of Fibonacci) was the relevant event in the "scientific life of society". Who was Fibonacci? And why his mathematical works are so important for the West-European mathematics? To answer these questions it is necessary to reproduce the historical epoch, in which Fibonacci lived and worked. One of the most interesting persons of the Crusades epoch, a harbinger of the Renaissance epoch, was the emperor Fridrich Gogenstaufen, an apprentice of the Sicilian Arabs and an admirer of the Arabian culture. At his palace in Pisa the greatest European mathematician of the Middle Ages Leonardo Pisano (by the nickname of Fibonacci that means the son of Bonacci) lived and worked.
Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci (1170-1228) About Fibonacci life it is known a little. Even the exact date of his birth is obscure. It is supposed, that Fibonacci was born in the eighth decade of the 12th century (presumptively in 1170). His father was a merchant and a government official, the representative of the new class of the businessmen generated by the "Commercial Revolution". In that time the city of Pisa was one of the largest commercial Italian centers actively cooperating with the Islam East, and Fibonacci's father traded in one of the trading posts, founded by Italians on the northern coast of Africa. Due to this circumstance he can give his son, the future mathematician Fibonacci, good mathematical education in one of the Arabian educational institutions.

Jabir ibn Aflah is often known by the Latinised form of his name, namely Geber. Although not he was not in the first rank of Arabic mathematicians, he is important in the development of mathematics since his works were translated into Latin, and so became available to European mathematicians, whereas the work of some of the top rank Arabic mathematicians such as Abu'l-Wafa were not translated into Latin. Very little information is available regarding Jabir ibn Aflah's life. That he came from Seville is known from two sources. Firstly he is described as "al-Ishbili" in manuscripts containing his treatises; this means "from Seville". The other source gives us not only the information that he came from Seville, but also a good estimate for the period in which he lived. The information comes from Maimonides.

A noble Arabian king wished to reward his valued Minister of Affairs. The Minister of Affairs was modest man, but also a chess player. He knew that there were 64 squares a chessboard. When he asked for a reward, he made the following request.
I would like one gold coin on the first square; two gold coins on the second square; four gold coins on the third square; and eight gold coins on the fourth square. Please, continue the pattern until all of the squares are filled? The king accepted his Minister’s request as a reasonable one. How many gold pieces, was the Noble King obligated to give his minister? Problem Three The numbers in this problem form a Magic Square about 30. Notice the sum of the numbers in the fourth row. Continue around the outside of the square. Make the sum of the first column 30. Then complete the first row and the fourth column so that each sum is 30. Complete each remaining row and column. How many different ways can you find 30 in this Magic Square?

Somerset Publications
Dedicated to establishing and maintaining the high profile of the Crabbet Arabian Horse
WHAT IS CRABBET? WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

In November 1877 the Blunts began the first of their journeys into the Arabian desert, in search of the horse of the Bedouin tribes Their plan was to acquire the best of the desert blood wherever they could find it, and the journeys took them to "romantic" destinations like Bagdad, Damascus, Hail, and into the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. They travelled across vast deserts mounted on camels or horses, living simply under the stars, experiencing the rigorous life of the tribesmen at first hand. They recorded their adventures in diaries, water-colours and poems, which are invaluable records in themselves. They also began to purchase, not without some difficulties, the first Arabian horses for their Stud. When Lady Anne died in 1917 the Crabbet horses comprised the largest group of pure Arabian horses outside the desert. The dream had been realised.
The Blunts' only surviving child Judith Lady Wentworth was born in 1873. She inherited her parents' talent for the arts, as well as an eye for fine horses, breeding both Thoroughbred and Arabian horses. Her masterstroke was the addition of the classical white stallion SKOWRONEK to the Stud in 1920. She also bred some of her Arabians taller than they had previously been. People called them "the Superhorses". They were horses like Oran, Grand Royal and Silver Drift, although in fact some of them were not as tall as their reputations. RIFFAL, the tallest of them all was actually bred by Lady Yule, albeit from Crabbet stock. Lady Wentworth also used the smaller stallions like DARGEE and SKOWRONEK. Like her parents she understood the art of blending types and bloodlines successfully.
