The House of Wisdom was a library, public academy and intellectual center located in the Abbasid Caliphate's capital city, Baghdad.

History

Around 820 CE, mathematician Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi was appointed as the astronomer and head of the library of the House of Wisdom,[1] where he met a young Basim Ibn Ishaq, a frequent visitor of the library. One day, when Basim had been reading one of al-Khwarizmi's studies, the polymath plucked them from his grasp and started teaching Basim astronomy and mathematics.[2]
