The '''''Al-Jabr''''' is a mathematical treatise on algebra written by the polymath [[Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi]].<ref>{{WP|The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing}}</ref>

In the 860s, the famed author [[Al-Jahiz]] sought to collect the book to add to his library in the [[House of Wisdom]]. The [[Hidden One]] [[Basim Ibn Ishaq]] found a copy of the book in [[Abbasiyah]] and delivered it to him.<ref name="ACM">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]'' – [[Al-Jahiz's Lost Books]]</ref>

==Basim's description==
''This man, Al-Kwarizmi, is some sort of a mathematical visionary and I met him briefly when I was young and had snuck into the House of Wisdom. If I understand correctly, algebra is a way of balance to find the answerto a mathematical question. It feels Like a larger metaphor for life ... to create balance. Is this not what the Hidden Ones are trying to do in the world?''
