About This Item
DJ shows some wear on spine ends, gutters & corners.
The royal library in Baghdad was known as The House of Wisdom. It was there, during the medieval period, that al-Khwarizmi, Avicenna and Gaber, among others, build upon & expanded on the works of the ancients and ushered in a new scientific age that helped to form the building blocks of our modern math and sciences.
