House of Wisdom

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

History

Around 820, the mathematician Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi was appointed as the House of Wisdom's astronomer and head librarian. While there, he met a young Basim Ibn Ishaq, who was a frequent visitor. 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.
