Al-Razi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Al-Razi als Bahnbrecher einer neuer Chemie, Deutsche Literaturzeitung, 1923, pp. Similar to the commentary on the 8th century text on amalgams ascribed to Al- Hayan (Jabir), Razi gives methods and procedures of coloring a silver object to imitate gold (gold leafing) and the reverse technique of removing its color back to silver. Razi's interest in alchemy and his strong belief in the possibility of transmutation of lesser metals to silver and gold was attested half a century after his death by Ibn an-Nadim's book (The Philosophers Stone-Lapis Philosophorum in Latin). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Al-Razi   (6485 words)

Al Biruni's Parts, compiled by Deborah Houlding Al Biruni defines Saturn as under the rays of the Sun when it is within 15 degrees of the body of the Sun, (v.481). Al Biruni defines Saturn as under the rays of the Sun when it is within 15 degrees of the body of the Sun, v.481. Many of the parts listed by Al Biruni share the same formula because the part takes definition from the nature of the query; hence the calculation for friendship and love is used as an indication of the benefits expected from constancy of character when applied to first house matters. www.skyscript.co.uk /alparts.html   (2045 words)

History of geology--Biruni It is true that Biruni was opposed to alchemy, and he discounted the magical or mystical powers attributed to gemstones, but this hardly marked him as antireligious and pro-soviet, as this propaganda suggested. Biruni was the first in the mid-east to state that earth orbits around the sun, even though he repeats the Koran that earth is the center of the universe. Biruni's work must have had considerable influence on contemporary Muslim scientists, but none of his work was translated into a European language until the 20th century. academic.emporia.edu /aberjame/histgeol/biruni/biruni.htm   (1103 words)

MuslimHeritage.com - Muslim Scholars In this book, too, Biruni employs mathematical techniques unknown to his predecessors that involve analysis of instantaneous motion and acceleration, described in terminology that can best be understood if we assume that he had "mathematical functions" in mind. Biruni also determined the local meridian and the coordinates of any locality. In it he determines the motion of the solar apogee, corrects Ptolemy's findings, and is able to state for the first time that the motion is not identical to that of precession, but comes very close to it. www.muslimheritage.com /day_life/default.cfm?ArticleID=362&Oldpage=1   (490 words)

Iranian Personalities: Abu Raihan Biruni bu Raihan Mohammad Ibn Ahmad Biruni was one of the well-known figures associated with the court of King Mahmoud Ghaznavid, who was one of the famous Muslim kings of the 11th century A.D. Biruni was a versatile scholar and scientist who had equal facility in physics, metaphysics, mathematics, geography and history. On his return from India, Biruni wrote his famous book Qanun-i Masoodi (al-Qanun al-Masudi, fi al-Hai'a wa al-Nujum), which he dedicated to Sultan Masood. Biruni discussed, centuries before the rest of the world, the question whether the earth rotates around its axis or not. www.iranchamber.com /personalities/abiruni/abu_biruni.php   (742 words)

Al Biruni Al Biruni fled at the outbreak of the civil war but it is less clear what happened to his teacher Abu Nasr Mansur at this stage.

The Horoscope of Baghdad A close examination of an account by al-Biruni in his "India" (Qanun'l-Mas'udi) of the reform of the Zij al-Shahriyaran in A.D. 556 ordered by Khusrau permits to reconstruct the rationale of this date, and the key is the role played by the planet Jupiter. As you can see, with the exception of the Moon, the anomalous Saturn, and the 1 degree error (Biruni) or 2 degrees (Ibn Faqih) of Mars, all the other positions agree closely, so it is reasonable to use --like Holden-- the 2:41 p.m. The source is given as Biruni's "Chronology of the Ancient Nations", p.263 of the Sachau edition. www.expreso.co.cr /centaurs/posts/mundane/baghdad.html   (3364 words)

[Abdus Salam] "Islam and Science" One of the tragedies of history is that this dawning of the modern spirit in sciences was interrupted; it did not lead to a permanent change of direction in scientific methodology.Barely a hundred years after Al Biruni and lbn-al-Haitham worked, creation of high science in Islam effectively came to a halt. But for science, one is reminded of the story of Al-Biruni, who was accused by a contemporary divine of heresy when he used the Byzantine (solar) calendar for an instrument he had invented for determining the times of the prayers. The story is told of his death by a contemporary who says: I heard, Al Biruni was dying. www.globalwebpost.com /farooqm/study_res/abdus_salam/i_science.html   (9115 words)

Medieval Sourcebook: Al Biruni (973-1048 CE): The Existing Monuments or Chronology, c. 1030 CE But Al Biruni was far more than an historian; he was a leading scientist of his day and also a geographer, his work on "India" being almost as celebrated as his "Chronology." The earliest Arab writer, who may perhaps be regarded as a genuine historian, in contrast to the previous romancers, was Al Biruni (973-1048).

Joliot (crater) - Open Encyclopedia The outer rim of Joliet crater is worn and somewhat disintegrated, particularly in the northern and southern sections where the outer wall consists of little more than irregular ridges and craterlets. At this location it lies in a region of the surface that comes into sight during a favorable libration, although at such times it is viewed from the side. The lava-covered floor contains several ghost-crater remnants, with the largest being an elongated formation to the west of the mid-point. www.open-encyclopedia.com /Joliot_%28crater%29   (287 words)

Alchemy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Supported by parallel developments in organic chemistry, the new science easily displaced alchemy from its medical roles, interpretive and prescriptive, while deflating its hopes of miraculous elixirs and exposing the ineffectiveness or even toxicity of its remedies. Experimentalists gradually uncovered the workings of the human body, such as blood circulation (Harvey, 1616), and eventually traced many diseases to infections with germs (Koch and Pasteur, 19th century) or lack of natural nutrients and vitamins (Lind, Eijkman, Funk, et al.). Meanwhile, Paracelsian alchemy led to the development of modern medicine. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Alchemy   (6993 words)

*** J. Lee Lehman — The Basis for Rulership *** Thus, although al- Biruni may be translated to use the same name as our Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century sources, the likelihood that he was referring to the same genus and species is fairly remote, except for cultivated plants. One thing very clear in the study of the history of herbals - as well as botany in general - is that the flora present in al-Biruni's location was certainly different from that of England: there are several floral groups in between. www.leelehman.com /pages/plants.html   (1998 words)

Personalities Noble The explanation given for Al Farghani's mistake is that being a theoretician rather than a practical engineer, he never successfully completed a construction.

ch7.2 The straight rille grazing the crater is one of several concentric grabens in the dark border material and probably formed by extension as the lava sagged toward the basin center prior to emplacement of the central mare. The crater is polygonal in outline, its rim is not raised, and its walls are relatively smooth. It occurs only in a few craters on the lunar surface and is probably caused by the cooling of a molten or partially molten fill within the crater. www.hq.nasa.gov /office/pao/History/SP-362/ch7.2.htm   (2287 words)
